Solve equation for y.
5x - y = 3
-y = -5x + 3
y = (-5x + 3)/(-1)
y = 5x - 3
The slope for this equation is 5.
The slope of the equation we want is the negative reciprocal of 5.
Let m = slope of equation we want.
m = -1/5
We are given the point (10,4).
Plug both into the point-slope formula.
y - 4 = (-1/5)(x - 10)
y - 4 = (-1/5)x + 2
y = (-1/5)x + 2 + 4
The equation we want is
y = (-1/5)x + 6
Did you follow?
the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 3:1
A is at (-4, -2) and B is at (4, -10).
Apply section formula
Here m,n is the ratio
m =3, n= 1
A is (-4,-2) that is (x1,y1)
B is at (4, -10) that is (x2,y2)
plug in all the values in the formula
(2, -8)
Point M is (2,-9)
Idk but somebody else can help you (:
12.6803 would be the answer hope you get your homework/quiz 100%
5 units = 2 yd.
1 unit = 2/5
Each piece of ribbon is 2/5 yd. long.
