Answer:

A. -1.5 B.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Axis of symmetry is the line that goes through the center of the parabola. And resembles a symmetrical shape that makes the parabola look the same on both sides.

In this case for A, -1.5 would be the answer because it is in the center of the parabola on the x-axis. For B, 2 is the axis of symmetry because it lines up in the center of the parabola.

Answer:

x = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-15) + 75 + 3x = 180

8x + 60 = 180

8x = 120

Find the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A(-2,-4) to B(8,1) in the ratio of 2 to 3

zalisa [80]

We have that
A(-2,-4) B(8,1) <span>

let
M-------> </span><span>the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B
2 3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
</span>distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
<span>so

step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
</span>Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2

step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2

the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)
