1) (9,-3.5)

2) (17,-1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

In order to solve this problem, we have to divide the segment into 8 equal parts, and find the point that sits at 3/8 of the whole segment.

The end points of the segment in this problem are:

A(3,-5)

and

B(19,-1)

First of all, we find the distance between the x-coordinates and between the y-coordinates:

d_x = |19-3|=16\\d_y=|-1-(-5)|=4

Then we divide the distances by 8 parts:

\frac{d_x}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2\\\frac{d_y}{8}=\frac{4}{8}=0.5

Now we find the coordinates of point C, which sits 3/8 of the way along the segment, by using the equations:

x_c = x_a + 3 \frac{d_x}{8}=3+3\cdot 2 =9\\y_x = y_a + 3 \frac{d_y}{8}=-5+3\cdot 0.5 =-3.5

2)

Here instead we want to find the coordinates of point C such that

\frac{CB}{AC}=\frac{1}{7} (1)

The coordinates of the endpoints of the segment AB are:

A(3,-5)

and

B(19,-1)

We call the coordinates of point C as:

C(x_c,y_c)

To satisfy eq.(1) for the x-coordinate, we have:

\frac{x_b-x_c}{x_c-x_a}=\frac{1}{7}

Substittuing the values of the x-coordinates of A and B we find:

\frac{19-x_c}{x_c-3}=\frac{1}{7}\\7(19-x_c)=x_c-3\\133-7x_c=x_c-3\\8x_c=136 \rightarrow x_c = 17

And similarly for the y-coordinate we have:

\frac{-1-y_c}{y_c-(-5)}=\frac{1}{7}\\7(-1-y_c)=y_c+5\\-7-7y_c=y_c+5\\8y_c=-12 \rightarrow y_c = -1.5

Answer:

1 to the left and 7 up

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate goes from 3 to 2, so that is your 1 to the left.

The y coordinate goes from -4 to 3, so that is your 7 up.

Pls help I tried basic answers like 50+50+80 =180 but it’s wrong so pls help
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

x = 65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

x° + x° + 50° = 180°

2x + 50° = 180°

2x = 180° - 50°

2x = 130°

x = 130°/2

x = 65°

Fill in the blank. <br><br><br> The absolute value of every nonzero integer is a(n) _____ integer.
Sedbober [7]

Answer: positive

The absolute value of every nonzero integer is a positive integer.

Examples are

|-2| = 2

|7| = 7

The absolute value represents distance which can never be negative. Negative distance does not make sense.

50 POINTS PLEASE EXPLAIN ANSWER A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex.
Elza [17]
Um, we see that the slice created the triangle, and the formula to find the area of the triangle:
1/2×B×h where B represent Base and h represent height.
In this case, Base=5 cm
Height=11 cm
A=1/2×11×5
A=5.5×5
A=27.5 square cm. As a result, the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section is 27.5 square cm. Hope it help!
