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

1 answer:

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

The coordinates of DEF are D(3,4), E(6,4), and F(5,9). If you translate DEF 3 units left and 2 units up, what are the coordinate

grigory [225]

EXPLANATION:

1.We must locate the points that the exercise gives us in the Cartesian plane.

2.The figure that it gives us must be moved 3 units to the left and then 2 units up.

3.To correctly translate a figure, we must add the units that the exercise indicates and towards the correct direction, if it tells us that to the left is towards the negative axis, then each of the points given in the exercise we will transfer 3 units towards the left and then add each of the points two units up, then we see that the triangle takes new coordinates for the points.

4.The new coordinates for point E are (3,6)

Whats the Approximate volume of the cylinder below in cubic centimeters?? Plz help

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Volume of a cylinder = 549.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Where,

π = 3.14

Radius, r = 5 cm

Height, h = 7 cm

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

= 3.14 * (5 cm)² * 7 cm

= 3.14 * 25 cm² * 7 cm

= 549.5 cm³

Volume of a cylinder = 549.5 cm³

Help asap my last question GIVING BRAINLIST!!!!

Alex

Answer:

1) $x < 0$

2) $x > 0$

3) $x < 10$

4) $x < -\frac{31}{55}$

5) $x \geq 0$

6) $x \geq -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) $-3 > 2x -3$

$2x- 3 < -3$

$2x - 3 + 3 < -3 +3$

$2x < 0$

$\frac{2x}{2} < \frac{0}{2}$

$x < 0$

2) $5 > -x + 5$

$-x + 5 < 5$

$- x + 5 -5 < 5 - 5$

$-x < 0$

$\frac{-x}{-1} < \frac{0}{-1}$

$x > 0$

3) $\frac{x}{5} -2 < 0$

$5 \times (\frac{x}{5} - 2 ) \times 5 < 0$

$x - 10 < 0$

$x -10 + 10 < 0 +10$

$x < 10$

4) $-5x + 11 > 31$

$-5x \cdot 11 < 31$

$-55x < 31$

$\frac{-55x}{-55} > \frac{31}{-55}$

$x < -\frac{31}{55}$

5) $\frac{1}{2}x - 4 \geq -4$

$\frac{1}{2}x -4 +4 \geq -4 +4$

$\frac{1}{2}x \geq 0$

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}x }{\frac{1}{2} } \geq \frac{0}{\frac{1}{2} }$

$x \geq 0$

6) $-4x + 2 \leq 6$

$-4x +2 - 2 \leq 6 -2$

$-4x < 4$

$\frac{-4x}{-4} \leq \frac{4}{-4}$

$x \geq -1$
