Answer:

  (6.2, 4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want, for some point P, ...

  (P -A) / (B -P) = 1 / 3

  3(P -A) = (B - P) . . . . . multiply by 3

  4P = B +3A . . . . . . . . add P+3A

  P = (B +3A)/4 . . . . . . .divide by 4

Filling in the coordinate values, we can find P to be ...

  P = ((2.3, 5.4) +3(7.5, 4.2))/4 = (2.3+22.5, 5.4+12.6)/4

  P = (6.2, 4.5)

Which of these equations is for a line perpendicular to y-3=5(x-2)?
olasank [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3=5(x-2)  (rearrange this to be in slope- intercept from) (add 3 to both sides)

y = 5(x-2) + 3   (distribute parentheses)

y = x(5) - 2(5) + 3

y = 5x -10 + 3

y = 5x - 7

recall that for a line with gradient m, the gradient of the perpendicular line will be - (1/m)

hence in our case, our gradient of the original line is 5, hence the gradient of the perpendicular line is -1/5

From the choices, the only one that is consistent with this is C

i.e choice C:

5y + x = 25

5y = -x + 25

y = -(1/5) x + 5   ===> gradient of -1/5

Match the area to each parallelogram and trapezoid.<br> brainliest
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Area of first shape is 288ft^{2}, area of second shape is 45m^{2}, area of third shape is 34in^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of first shape

A=bh

A=18*16

A=288

Second shape

A=bh

A=9*5

A=45

Third shape

A= 1/2 h(b1+b2)

A=1/24(12+5)

A=1/2*4(12+5)

A=1/2*4(17)

A=1/2*68

A=34

Linda and Colleen both leave the library at the same time, but in opposite direction. If Colleen travels 8mph faster than Linda
pshichka [43]
X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed

8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64  - Colleen's distance for 8 h

8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h


8x + 8x + 64 = 176 
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8
= 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed

Holly has $10.00 . she saw a purse in a catalog that was marked 14.95 plus 5% sales tax . how much more did holley need to buy t
vladimir1956 [14]
For this case we will first look for the total cost of the purse.
 We then have the following rule of three:
 14.95 $ -----> 100%
 x -------------> 105%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (105/100) * (14.95)
 x = 15.6975 $
 The amount needed to buy the purse is:
 15.6975 - 10 = 5.6975 $
 Answer:
 
holley needs 5.6975 $ to buy the purse
