direct proportion y=kx , k is constant and k does not equal to 0.
17.5=k(21)
k=5/6
when x =39
y=5/6 ×39
y=32.5
When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.
x-coordinate: (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate: (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1
Adding them to the coordinates of a,
x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).
Answer: -4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a segment is located at the same distance of each of the endpoints of the segment.
The midpoint is at x = 1.
The length of the segment is 10.5, if we divide it by two we have:
10.5/2 = 5.25
Now, if we want the endpoints to be at the same distance of the midpoint, then the endpoints will be:
Xmax = midpoint + 5.25
Xmin = midpoint - 5.25
Then the extremes are:
Xmax = 1 + 5.25 = 6.25
Xmin = 1 - 5.25 = -4.25
Then this segment can be written as:
Xmin ≤ x ≤ Xmax
-4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
y-intercept is -6 (0,-6) and the x-intercept is -3 (-3,0)
