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)
see the attached figure
Answer:
Distance between the points A and B is 15.52 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
It has been given in the question that an airplane flies along a straight line from City A to City B.
Map has been laid out in the (x, y) coordinate plane and the coordinates of these cities are A(20, 14) and B(5, 10).
Distance between two points A'(x, y) and B'(x', y') is represented by the formula,
d = 
So we plug in the values of (x, y) and (x', y') in the formula,
d = 
d = 
d = 
d = 15.52
Therefore, distance between the points A and B is 15.52 units.
Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem goes with a right triangle, the formula is a^2+b^2=c^2.
Let's try this out with your values.
(18*18)+(12*12) = 468
If this is true than c^2 is 468
c^2 or (22*22) is 484 is this is not a right triangle.
