iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

$d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}$

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

$d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}$

Now , these distance are equal :

$h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2$

Solving above equation , we get :

$P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})$

Hence , this is the required solution.

Jordan flipped a coin 492 times. Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times the coin landed on heads

Irina-Kira [14]

I'd say B. but that's only because I divided the number of times he flipped the coin by the number of sides it has, 2, and came up with 246. The closest number on here to that is 231 or B. I hope I helped.
