Solution:
Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:
To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

Using the section formula expressed as
![[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7Bmx_2%2Bnx_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2C%5Cfrac%7Bmy_2%2Bny_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5D)
In this case,

where

Thus, by substitution, we have
![\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%282%29%2B2%28-7%29%7D%7B1%2B2%7D%2C%5Cfrac%7B1%284%29%2B2%28-2%29%7D%7B1%2B2%7D%5D%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%5B%5Cfrac%7B2-14%7D%7B3%7D%2C%5Cfrac%7B4-4%7D%7B3%7D%5D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5B-4%2C%5Ctext%7B%200%5Crbrack%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
A = -11
B= -12
This is because of how calculations work in negatives. Because they are both negative they work similarly to addition
5(2x-7)
Hope this helps !
Have a great day!
Answer:
Option(D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are the two triangles, that are ABC and DEF, in which AB=8ft, DE=6ft, AC=10ft and DF=7.5ft.
For the two triangles to be similar, it must satisfy the similarity condition that is:
Both the triangles must have congruent angles and the sides should be proportional. Since, two sides of the given triangles are not proportional.Moreover, ∠A=25° and ∠D=24° which are not equal and ∠C=60° and ∠F=61° which are also not equal.
Therefore, Not all the angles are congruent, thus the triangles cannot be similar.
No the 6 times 8 is 48 and the 9 times 12 is 108
