<h2>Answer:</h2>

The coordinate of Jedd's house is:

                          (-7,-2)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that if a Point P(a,b) partitions the line joining the point (x,y) and (x',y') in the ratio m:n

Then the coordinates of the point P is given by:

a=\dfrac{mx'+nx}{m+n},\ b=\dfrac{my'+ny}{m+n}

Here m:n=1:2

and (a,b)=(-3,2) i.e. location of the food restaurant.

and

(x,y)=(-1,4) i.e. location of Holli's house.

and (x',y') is the location of Jedd's house.

Hence, we have:

-3=\dfrac{1\times x'+2\times (-1)}{1+2}\ and\ 2=\dfrac{1\times y'+2\times 4}{1+2}\\\\i.e.\\\\-3=\dfrac{x'-2}{3}\ and\ 2=\dfrac{y'+8}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\-3\times 3=x'-2\ and\ 2\times 3=y'+8\\\\i.e.\\\\-9=x'-2\ and\ 6=y'+8\\\\i.e.\\\\x'=-9+2\ and\ y'=6-8\\\\i.e.\\\\x'=-7\ and\ y'=-2

Write an equation that passes through -2 and 5 and perpendicular to x=7? y=mx+b
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume you mean passes through the point (-2,5) since -2 and 5 could mean a lot of different things

To find the perpendicular line's gradient, you would know that m1*m2 = -1

In this case m1 = 7, so m2 must be -1/7

Now we substitute the gradient into the equation

y = -1/7x + b

To find b, we substitute (-2,5) into the equation above

5 = -1/7*-2+b

5 = 2/7 + b

b = 33/7

Therefore the equation of the line is

y = -1/7x+33/7

Mekala has an MP3 player called the Jumble. The Jumble randomly selects a song for the user to listen to. Mekala's Jumble has 4
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:Close to 60 country songs but probably not exactly 60 country songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mekala player Jumble has 4 techno songs, 2 country songs, and 3 jazz songs on it.

Represent this songs in ratio format

Ratio of techno songs,to country songs,to jazz songs= 4: 2 : 3

Total number of songs is unknowns ,let it be represented by x

total number of songs is therefore 4 x, 2 x, and 3 x.

Total number of songs that Mekala plans to Listen = 2 70

Then , 4 x + 2 x + 3 x= 270

9 x = 270

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

x = 30

So, Number of techno songs = 4 × 30= 120

Number of country songs = 2 × 30= 60

Number of jazz songs = 3 × 30= 90
