Well,
If the slope of the lines are the same, then the lines are parralel.
We need to manipulate 2y - 10x = 4 into y = mx + b form.
Add 10x to both sides
2y = 10x + 4
Divide both sides by 2
y = 5x + 2
Do the same thing with the other equation.
Add 2 to both sides
y = 5x + 2
y = 5x + 2
It appears that, not only are they parallel, but they lie on exactly the same line! If this was a System of Simultaneous Linear Equations, then there would be an infinite number of solutions!<span />
The answer is 12.
The exact answer is 11.74734012..... this question is basically asking you to round the exact answer.
Well you see partition means to separate or divide. A line segment with end points a and b can be partioneded by another point by a given ratio, and a ratio is a comparison of two numbers. For other ratios besides 1:1 , it is necessary to determine the total number of parts that the line segment must be divided into. So in your case the point is 5:7 so you to determine the point that divides your line segment you just simply add the figure 5 a and the figure 7 together and you should end up with the sum of 12.
