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 ).

The illustration below shows the graph of yyy as a function of xxx.
Alisiya [41]
  1. The slope of the graph of the function is equal to 0 for x between x = -3 and x = -2.
  2. The slope of the graph of the function is equal to 0 for x between x = 3 and x = 4.
  3. The greatest value of y is y = 4.
  4. The smallest value of y is y = -3.

<h3>How to complete the sentences?</h3>

By critically observing the graph shown in the image attached below, we can logically deduce that the slope of the graph of this function is equal to 0 for x, between x = -3 and x = -2.

Similarly, the slope of the graph of this function is also equal to 0 for x, between x = 3 and x = 4.

Based on the graph (see attachment), the greatest value of y is 4 while the smallest value of y is -3.

Suppose the base of the prism was a rectangle of sides I and w. Type a formula for the volume of the prism using i, w and h
tester [92]

Answer: V = l  w  h

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.

Volume of a rectangular prism (V) = Length x Width x Height

Replacing with the values given:

V = l w h

All values are multiplied (didn’t use x as a multiplication symbol to avoid confusion)  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
