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.

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = (x - 1)/2

f(x) = 6

Step 2: Substitute and solve for <em>x</em>

6 = (x - 1)/2

12 = x - 1

x = 13

Answer:

Since we are assuming a constant velocity, we know that v = d/t which means we can rearrange this formula to solve for distance:

d = v * t

d = (20 cm/sec) * (25 sec) = 500 cm

A campground has cabins that can each hold 28 campers there are 148 campers visiting the campground.how many cabins are full if
Rainbow [258]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of cabins

y: number of campers

We now write the equation that models the problem:

y = 28x

We know that there are 148 campers.

Therefore, substituting y = 148 in the given equation we have:

148 = 28x

From here, we clear the value of x:

x = \frac{148}{28}\\x = 5.29

Therefore, the number of full cabins is:

x = 5

Answer:

The number of full cabins is:

x = 5
