If the slope of the number is positive (the graph goes upward from left to right), then m will be positive, but if the slope is negative (the graph goes downward from left to right), then m is negative. So, no. M does not have to be a positive number, it may also be negative.

line AB has endpoints A (-3, 1) and B (4, 5), find the coordinates of point p on directed line segment AB that partitions AB in
Margarita [4]
<h3>Given</h3>

A(-3, 1), B(4, 5)

<h3>Find</h3>

coordinates of P on AB such that AP/PB = 5/2

<h3>Solution</h3>

AP/PB = 5/2 . . . . . desired result

2AP = 5PB . . . . . . multiply by 2PB

2(P-A) = 5(B-P) . . . meaning of the above

2P -2A = 5B -5P . . eliminate parentheses

7P = 2A +5B . . . . . collect P terms

P = (2A +5B)/7 . . . .divide by the coefficient of P

P = (2(-3, 1) +5(4, 5))/7 . . . . substitute the given points

P = (-6+20, 2+25)/7 . . . . . . simplify

P = (2, 3 6/7)

How do you find a if given c and 0 (angle) in a right triangle where a is the opposite, c is the hypotenuse, b is adjacent and 0
Yakvenalex [24]
C can be found using pythagoras theorem. c2=a2+b2. Now, b is not given, but we know that cos(theta)=b/c=>b=c*cos(theta). Substituting b in the above relation, c2=a2+c2(cos(theta))^2=>c2=a2/(1-cos((theta))^2). c is the squareroot of c2. Hence c=sqrt(2/(1-cos((theta))^2))
