Answer:

x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y  =  0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (-1,-2)

B = (2,4)

AP:BP = 1 : 2

Required

The locus of P

AP:BP = 1 : 2

Express as fraction

\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}

Cross multiply

2AP = BP

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}

So, we have:

2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}

2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}

Take square of both sides

4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2

Evaluate all squares

4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16

Collect and evaluate like terms

4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20

Open brackets

4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20

Collect like terms

4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y  + 20 - 20 =  0

3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y  =  0

Divide through by 3

x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y  =  0

Find an equation of the line through the given point and perpendicular to the given line
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

For two lines to be perpendicular, the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line. The equation of the given line is

y = 2x - 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form,

Slope, m = 2

This means that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to it is -1/2

The given points are (-3, 5)

To determine c,

We will substitute m = -1/2, y = 5 and x = - 3 into the equation, y = mx + c

It becomes

5 = -1/2 × - 3 + c

5 = - 3/2 + c

c = 5 + 3/2

c = 13/2

The equation becomes

y = -x/2 + 13/2

Rudiy27

Answer:

10 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

C(5,2) = 5! / 2! (5-2)!

C(5,2) = 5! / 2!3!

C(5,2) = 120/12

C(5,2) = 10
