In what ratio of line x-y-2=0 divides the line segment joining (3,-1)and (8,9)​

Mathematics

NISA [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The ratio in which the line x-y-2=0 divides the line joining A(3,-1) and B(8,9) is in the ratio 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the coordinates of point of intersection.

Hence x=(a*8+1*3)(a+1) = (8a+3)/(a+1)

and

y = {a*9+1*(-1)}/(a+1)=(9a-1)/(a+1)

Since this point lies on the line x-y-2=0

Hence (8a+3)/(a+1)-(9a-1)/(a+1)-2=0

i.e. 8a+3–9a+1–2(a+1)=0

Or 8a+3–9a+1–2a-2=0

i.e.-3a+2=0

Hence a=2/3

hence the ratio in which the line x-y-2=0 divides the line joining A(3,-1) and B(8,9) in the ratio 2/3:1

i.e. 2:3

Number 10:
 All angles in a triangle =180 degrees

so add the first to and subtract that by 180

166 degrees
180-166=14
so x=14 degrees

Answer:

f(x)=x-2

Find the domain by finding where the function is defined. The range is the set of values that correspond with the domain.

Domain: (−∞,∞),x|x ∈R}(-∞,∞),{x|x ∈R}

Range: (−∞,∞),{y|y∈R}

g(x)=x^2-3x+2

Domain: (−∞,∞),{x|x ∈R}(-∞,∞),{x|x ∈R}

Range: [−1/4,∞),{y∣y≥−1/4}
