Answer:

The coordinates of the point is (5.5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, what we want to do here is to get the point that divides the line that joins the points (3,3) to (7,-5) in the ratio 5 to 3

Generally, given the ratio a:b and we want to divide the line joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in that ratio, we use the condensed formula below;

Let’s call the point dividing the line in the given ratio z.

The coordinates of Z is;

{(bx1 + ax2)/(a+b), (by1 + ay2)/(a+b)}

In this question (x1,y1) = (3,3)

While (x2,y2) = (7,-5)

while a:b = 5:3

Substituting these values into the coordinate equation for point z, we have ;

{((3(3) + 5(7))/(5+3), ((3)(3) + 5(-5))/(5+3)}

= {44/8 , -16/8} = {5.5, -2}

How to solve x^2>4x+3
Papessa [141]
Treat this as you would the quadratic equation x^2 - 4x - 3 + 0.   Solve this by completing the square:

x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 - 7 = 0

(x^2 - 4x + 4) = 11

    (x-2)^2 = 11, and so x-2 = plus or minus sqrt(11).

Graph this, using a dashed curve (not a solid curve).  Then shade the coordinate plane ABOVE the graph.

When 5x^2 + 2= 4x is written in standard form, what are the values of a, b, and c
goblinko [34]

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^{2}+bx+c=0,

where a, b, and c are coefficients. You want to get the given equation into this form. You can accomplish this by putting all the non-zero values on the left side on the equation.

In this case, the given equation is

5x^{2}+2=4x

Since 4x is on the right side of the equation, we subtract that from both sides. The resulting equation is

5x^{2}-4x+2=0

Looking at the standard form equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0, we can see that

a=5, b=-4, c=0

How many solutions does -46+23=46x+23
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−46+23=46x+23

(−46+23)=46x+23(Combine Like Terms)

−23=46x+23

−23=46x+23

Step 2: Flip the equation.

46x+23=−23

Step 3: Subtract 23 from both sides.

46x+23−23=−23−23

46x=−46

Step 4: Divide both sides by 46.

46x/46 = -46/46

Mandy used the graph to write the equation of the line it represents. She took these steps. 1. y−intercept = (0, 2) 2. Slope = r
Katyanochek1 [597]

Based on the information given about the equation, y will be 0.5x + 2.

<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>

From the information given, it should be noted that the equation of the line it represents was given and the y intercept is = (0, 2).

The function to represent y will be:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2

y = 0.5x + 2

In conclusion, y = 0.5x + 2.
