Line segment MN is shown below. If point P(x, y) partitions the line segment
into the ratio MP:PN = 1:2 then determine the values of x and y.
Line segment:
Point M: (-6,2).
Point N: (9. – 4)

P (-1 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

M (-6 , 2)      N (9 , -4)     P (x , y)

horizontal distance of M and N = 9 - (-6) = 15

vertical distance of M and N = 2 - (-4) = 6

1/3 from x coordinate of M (-6): -6 + 15/3 = -1    This is x coordinate of point P

1/3 from y coordinate of M (2): 2 - 6/3 = 0    This is y coordinate of point P

P (x , y)  i.e P (-1 , 0)

check: distance of MP = √(-1 - (-6))² + (0 - 2)² = √29 = 5.385

distance of PN = √(-1 - 9)² + (0 - (-4))² = √116 = 10.77

MP / PN = 5.385 / 10.77 = 0.5 = 1/2

it's d.

step-by-step explanation:

because: -1(4x + 1y) +2 (1x-3y) distribute each number into the parenthesis.

then you would get: -4x - 1y + 2x -6y combine like terms

and get: 2x -7y

hope my answer has you if not then i'm sorry.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
