On a road map, the locations A, B and C are collinear. Location C divides the road from location A to B, such that AC:CB = 1:2.

If location A is at (5,16) and location C is at (3,10). Find the coordinates of location B. A. (1,4) B. (4,13) C. (-1,-2)

Answer:

C. (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C internally divides AB in the ratio AC/CB = 1/2 = m/n where m = 1 and n = 2, we use the formula for internal division.

Let A = (x₁, y₁) = (5, 16), B = (x₂, y₂) and C = (x, y) = (3, 10)

So x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

Substituting the values of the coordinates, we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

3 = (1 × x₂ + 2 × 5)/(2 + 1)

3 = (x₂ + 10)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

9 = x₂ + 10

x₂ = 9 - 10

x₂ = -1

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

10 = (1 × y₂ + 2 × 16)/(2 + 1)

10 = (x₂ + 32)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

30 = y₂ + 32

y₂ = 30 - 32

y₂ = -2

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, -2)

The first step in beginning to control your time is
kotegsom [21]
B. DEVELOPING A TIME LOG is the first step in beginning to control you time.

A. A COMBINATION OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS password is used to ensure security.


Time log is basically you recording or logging the activities you have done in a certain time of a day. As you do this daily and check on the log for a few days, you will notice that you have done things that are either unimportant and time consuming, in short time was wasted.
Time log is very helpful especially is you are very busy. It will not only help you manage your tasks in any given time, it will also show you the things you can do in a shorter amount of time and allow you to schedule time for relaxation.

Passwords should be composed of a combination of letter and numbers. Other use special characters just to tighten password security. It is better that users create passwords that may form a special meaning to them so that they will not forget it regardless of length and combination.

The point C(2,3) is translated along a vector that is parallel to the line y=3x-2. The translation vector has magnitude square r
qaws [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation vector v can be resolved into its x and y components, where x² + y² = 10 (Pythagoras' Theorem) and y = 3x

(parallel to y = 3x - 2, slope = 3).

We have x² + (3x)² = 10,

=> x² + 9x² = 10, 10x² = 10, x = 1 or x = -1.

When x = 1, y = 3. When x = -1, y = -3.

Therefore 2 possible translation vectors

are (1, 3) or (-1, -3).

First new C' = (2 + (1), 3 + (3)) = (3, 6).

Second new C'= (2 + (-1), 3 + (-3)) = (1, 0).

The possible images are (3, 6) and (1, 0).

write the equation if the line in slope- intercept form that passes through (7,-4) with a slope of -1.
QveST [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form can be a useful place to start.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

You require the line ...

  y -(-4) = -1(x -7)

  y = -x +7 -4 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add -4

  y = -x +3 . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form
