Line is divided into 4 equal parts.

we have to find a point which is closest to point A.

So that means required point P(x,y) is at 1 unit away from A(-1,1) and 3 unit away from B(8,4)

Now we just need to use section formula to get the coordinate of required point using m1=1 and m2=3

\left ( \frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}  , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2} \right )

= \left ( \frac{1*8+3*(-1)}{1+3}  , \frac{1*4+3*1}{1+3} \right )

= \left ( \frac{8-3}{4}  , \frac{4+3}{4} \right )

= \left ( \frac{5}{4}  , \frac{7}{4} \right )

So the final answer is \left ( \frac{5}{4}  , \frac{7}{4} \right ).

Sarah walks to school, 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. what is the snswer to this
nevsk [136]

Answer: 3 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find the speed V at which Sarah walks to school, knowing the distance d she has walked and the time t she expends.

So, in this case we can use the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=1.5 mi

t=30 min \frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.5 h

Solving:

V=\frac{1.5 mi}{0.5 h}

V=3 mi/h This is Sarah's speed

Amir drove from Jerusalem down to Lowest Place on earth, the Dead Sea descending at a rate of 12 meters per minute he was at sea
Oliga [24]

Answer:

  see below for a graph

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to use a point-slope form of the equation of a line for graphing, since we know the slope is -12 m/min and the point is (30, 0) at sea level.

The horizontal axis is minutes; the vertical axis is meters above sea level. The graph cannot extend below -413 meters from sea level, as that is the lowest place on earth.
