Answer:

Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

  1. Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
  2. All horses have manes.
  3. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.
  4. All noble gases are stable.

Angle OPM and Angle LMK

When angles are corresponding, they're essentially on the same side. It's sort of hard to explain, so I'll attach a drawing. The one on the left with the check mark is a corresponding angle, and the one on the right with the X is a same-side angle. Essentially, corresponding angles are on the same side and are also equal, unlike same-side angles, which are supplementary angles.

Let me know if you don't understand my explanation.

Which of the following represents the coordinates of point A?
KiRa [710]
The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)

The appropriate choice is
  (C) (11, 32/3)

_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)

Simora [160]
1x + 1y = 100....multiply by -3/8
3/8x + 7/8y = 2000

no need to multiply the other equation by anything....the x's will cancel because one will be -3/8x and one will be 3/8x
