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)

juin [17]

Answer:

\text{r}=5.5\text{c}-20

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: On a 40 question test students gain 6 points for each correct answer and lose 0.5 points on each incorrect answer. If everyone required to give an answer to each question.

TO FIND: the formulas that describes how a student's raw score, r, depends on the number of correct answers he or she provided, c.

SOLUTION:

Total number of incorrect questions =40-\text{c}

Total marks deducted due to incorrect question =(40-\text{c})\times0.5=20-0.5\text{c}

Total correct questions =\text{c}

Total marks scored =6\text{c}

Total raw marks \text{r}=\text{total marks gained}-\text{total marks deducted}

                           \text{r}=6\text{c}-(20-0.5\text{c})

                           \text{r}=5.5\text{c}-20

ormulas that describes how a student's raw score, r, depends on the number of correct answers he or she provided, c is  \text{r}=5.5\text{c}-20
