Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)

Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The two linear equation

x + y = 19.... Equation 1

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65... Equation 2

Nedra purchased

9 Apples and 11 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. which two linear equations can be used to find the number of apples and oranges?

Let the number of apples be represented by x

The number of oranges by represented by y.

Hence,

Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total of $12.65 for 19 pieces of fruit,

Hence:

x + y = 19..... Equation 1

x = 19 - y

$0.55 × x + $0.75 × y = $12.65

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65.....Equation 2

Hence: we substitute 19 - y for x in Equation 2

0.55(19 - y) + 0.75y = 12.65

10.45 - 0.55y + 0.75y = 12.65

-0.55y+ 0.75y = 12.65 - 10.45

0.20y = 2.2

y = 2.2/0.20

y = 11 oranges

x = 19 - y

x = 19 - 11

x = 8 Apples

An ostrich can run at a rate of 50 miles in 60 minutes.At this rate,how long would it take an ostrich to run 15 miles?
just olya [345]
If an ostrich can run 50 miles in one hour then he can run 12.5 miles in 15 minutes. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour. Multiply 50 by 0.25 = 15.
