Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.
If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then
So
Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.
Thus, C(2,-1)
If I read that right:
(3/5)/(-4/9) is equal to
(3/5)*(9/-4)
-27/20
-1 7/20
The horizontal distance is the difference of x-coordinates: 6 - 4 = 2.
The vertical distance is the difference of y-coordinates: -1 - (-2) = 1.
The straight-line distance (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, since the vertical and horizontal distances are at right angles to each other.
.. d² = 2² + 1² = 5
.. d = √5 ≈ 2.2
The distance UV is about 2.2.
Write the conjugates of them then FOIL both the top and bottom, then factor
