We have been given two points. A(3,4) and C(3,9). We are asked to find the point B such that it divides line segment AC so that the ratio of AB to BC is 4:1.

We will use segment formula to solve our given problem.

When a point P divides segment any segment internally in the ratio m:n, then coordinates of point P are:

[\right x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\left]

(x_1,y_1)=(3,4) and (x_2,y_2)=(3,9).

m=4,n=1

Upon substituting our given information in above formula, we will get:

[\right x=\frac{4(3)+1(3)}{4+1},y=\frac{4(9)+1(4)}{4+1}\left]

[\right x=\frac{12+3}{5},y=\frac{36+4}{5}\left]

[\right x=\frac{15}{5},y=\frac{40}{5}\left]

[\right x=3,y=8\left]

Therefore, the coordinates of point B would be (3,8).

Solution 8.5 +4(1-2.5k) = -24.5
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>8.5 +4(1-2.5k) = -24.5
Use distributive property
8.5 + 4 - 10k = -24.5
Add 4 to 8.5
12.5 - 10k = 24.5
Subtract 12.5 from both sides
-10k = 12
Divide -10 on both sides
Final Answer: -12/10 or -1 2/10 or -1 1/5 *All answers are equivalent to each other.</span>

Write the inequality: The sum of x and 10 is less than -4
andrezito [222]

Answer:

x + 10 < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 10 is less than -4, so -4 would have to be greater. You would put x + 10 on the left side and on the right side would be -4. In between would be a less than sign because x + 10 is LESS than -4.
