Answer:

P = 7/3 and q = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The endpoints of the segment are, (3, -4) and (1, 2)

The points that trisect the given points are P and Q with coordinates (p, -2) and (5/3, q) respectively

Therefore, we have;

The first point of the trisection cuts 1/3 of the length from one point and the second point of the trisection cuts 2/3 of the length from the same point

The coordinates of P or Q = (3 - (3 - 1)/3, -4 - (-4 - 2)/3) = (7/3 , -2)

Therefore, given that the y-coordinate value of the derived point coincides with the y-coordinate value of the point P, (p, -2) and there is only one point with x = -2 on the line, we have that the coordinate of the point P is (p, -2) = (7/3 , -2)

∴ P = 7/3

Similarly we have the second point of the trisection, Q, given as follows;

We are already given the x-coordinate value of the point Q as the 5/3 in (5/3, q)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (3 - 2×(3 - 1)/3, -4 - 2×(-4 - 2)/3) = (5/3 , 0)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (5/3 , 0)

∴ q = 0.

What is the standard form of function f?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A = 4; B = -1 ; C = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4(x + 6) + 5

y = 4x + 24 +5

y = 4x + 29

Standard form: Ax + By = C

 4x - y = -29

•The following system of functions are shown on the graph:
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing that the system are y=-x+6 and y=x+2, then: x+2=-x+6; x+x=6-2; 2x=4; x=2, and replacing x in y we have: y=-2+6=4 and y=2+2=4, finally tha solution to sistem is (2,4)

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

\frac{11}{12} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for question

Required

Solve

We have:

\frac{11}{12} - \frac{1}{3}

Take LCM and solve

\frac{11}{12} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{11 - 4}{12}

\frac{11}{12} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{12}

What is the value of q ? 2/5(g-7)=3
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

q = 29/2    ( decimal: q = 14.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by 5

5 * 2/5 (q - 7) = 3 * 5

simplify

2 (q - 7) = 15

divide both sides by 2

(2 (q - 7))/(2) = 15/2

simplify

q - 7 = 15/2

add 7 to both sides

q - 7 + 7 = 15/2 + 7

simplify

q = 29/2
