Given a line segment A(16, 8) and B(1, 3) what are the coordinates or the line segment partitioned two-fifths from A to B.
Shalnov [3]
Partitioning means to find the dividing point between two points.
This is done by prorating the difference in x- and y-coordinates, and adding to the first.

We will take the first point (from A to B) as A(16,8).
The difference is B-A, i.e.
(1,3)-(16,8) = (-15,-5)
2/5 of the difference is (2/5)*(-15,-5) = (-6,-2)
Add the difference to the first coordinates (point A) gives
Point of division = (16,8)+(-6,-2) = (16-6, 8-2) = (10,6)

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ). What is the cost per ounce?
Nastasia [14]

Solution:

we are given that

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ).

we have been asked to find the cost per ounce?

As we know that

16 oz=1 lb

so we will divide by 16 to get the cost per ounce.

strawberries cost $6.40 per pound so for 1 oz it will cost =\frac{6.40}{16}= 0.4$

Hence cost per ounce is 0.40 $

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 5) and has a slope of -1. Include your
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

y = -x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 5; m = -1     Substitute the values

  y – 5 = -1(x + 1)          Remove parentheses

  y – 5 = -x - 1              Add 5 to each side

       y = -x + 4

The graph is a straight line with a y-intercept at y = +4 and a slope = -10/10

= -1.
