Answer:
Ratio = 3 : 2 and value of m = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the end points ( -3,-1 ) and ( -8,9 ) of a line and a point P = ( -6,m ) divides this line in a particular ratio.
Let us assume that it cuts the line in k : 1 ratio.
Then, the co-ordinates of P =
.
But,
= -6
i.e. -8k-3 = -6k-6
i.e. -2k = -3
i.e. 
So, the ratio is k : 1 i.e
i.e. 3 : 2.
Hence, the ratio in which P divides the line is 3 : 2.
Also,
= m where 
i.e. m = 
i.e. m = 
i.e. m = 
i.e. m = 5.
Hence, the value of m is 5.
Answer:
y=15
x=43
(any variable can be used, I used x and y to make it easier to show)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=58
x-y=28
get x by its self
x=58-y
then subsitute into the other equation
(58-y)-y=28
58-2y=28
-2y=-30
y=15
sub. again
x+15=58
x=43
Answer:
Dan drank 1 3/8 ths of the bottle of water
Step-by-step explanation:
since the question is asking how much water he drank altogether, it wants you to add
so
7/8+4/8=11/8
Dan drank 11/8 ths of the bottle of water (1 3/8)
