Answer:  The correct option is

(A) (11, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the co-ordinates of he point that is one-sixth of the way from A(14, −1) to B(−4, 23).

As shown in the attached figure below, let point P is one-sixth of the way from A to B.

Also, let P divides the the segment AB in the ratio m : n.

Then, we must have

\dfrac{m}{m+n}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 6m=m+n\\\\\Rightarrow 6m-m=n\\\\\Rightarrow 5m=n\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m}{n}=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow m:n=1:5.

So, the point P divides AB in the ratio 1 : 5.

We know that

if a point divides the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (c, d) in the ratio m : n, then its co-ordinates are

\left(\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n},\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}\right).

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the point P will be

\left(\dfrac{1\times(-4)+5\times14}{1+5},\dfrac{1\times23+5\times(-1)}{1+5}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-4+70}{6},\dfrac{23-5}{6}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{66}{6},\dfrac{18}{6}\right)\\\\=(11,3).

Thus, the required co-ordinates of the point is (11, 3).

Option (A) is CORRECT.

in the diagram,transversal t intersects parallel lines m and n. Classify the given angle pair. then determine each measures.​
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles: ∠2=∠ 6  ;  ∠1 = ∠5 ;    ∠4 = ∠8;  ∠3 =∠7

Vertically opposite angles: ∠1 = ∠3;  ∠2 = 4;  ∠5 = ∠7 ;  ∠6 = ∠8

Interior angles : ∠4, ∠3 , ∠6, ∠7

alternate interior angles are equal: ∠3 = ∠5 ;  ∠4 = ∠6

Find compound interest on12600rupees for 2years at10% per annum compounded anually<br>​
vekshin1

Answer:

₹2520

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 10%/100 = 0.1 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 12600 × 0.1 × 2 = 2520

I = ₹ 2,520.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of ₹ 12,600.00

at a rate of 10% per year

for 2 years is ₹ 2,520.00.

Carl and Tamera want to compare their tests in math class. They have taken six tests. Should they use the mean, median or mode t
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

I said mean because it would allow both Carl and Tamera to average their scores and compare one side by side rather than comparing 6 each which would just be time consuming and it seems like it wouldn't be any other choices.
