Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Sol: the ratio formula is

x-x1/x2-x = ratio and y-y1/ y2-y= ratio

x-(-7)/0-x=2/1 and y-17/0-y=2/1

x+7=2(-x) and y-17 = -2y

x+2x=-7 and y+2y =17

3x=-7 and 3y = 17

x=-7/3 and y= 17/3

coordinates of point p that partition the segment in ratio is (-7/3, 17/3)

The midpoint formula is:

M= (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)

= (-7+0/2, 17+0/2)

= (-7/2, 17/2) are the midpoint of AB.

Explain why the absolute value of a number will never be negative

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.

If aſc and a +b = C, prove that a|b.

mars1129 [50]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

a + b = c

and a|c

i.e. a divides c.

We need to prove that a|b.

⇒ a = mb for some integer m

Since a|c,

So, mathematically, it is expressed as

c= ka

Now, we put the above value in a + b = c.

So, it becomes,

$a+b=c\\\\a+b=ka\\\\b=ka-a\\\\b=a(k-1)\\\\\implies a|b$

a=mb, here, m = k-1

Hence, proved.
