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)

Answer:
The family's average rate of travel for the day was 59.0 MPH.
Step-by-step explanation:
From 10:15AM to 4:45PM, they travelled a distance of 383.5 miles and a total of 6 hours and 30 minutes.
There are 60 minutes in an hour. 30 minutes translates into 1/2 an hour or .5
So, 6.5 hours and a total distance of 383.5 miles.
Velocity (MPH) = Distance (in miles) / Time (in hours)
MPH means Miles Per Hour
Variables:
Velocity (MPH) = x
Distance (in miles) = 383.5
Time (in hours) = 6.5
Plug in the variables into the formula
x = 383.5 / 6.5
Divide
x = 59.0 MPH
The answer to your question is answer A
We simply substitute 6 into the equation:
f(6) = -2(6 - 4)² + 22
f(6) = 14
The company's profit is 14 thousand dollars
