Answer:
Ratio = 3 : 2 and value of m = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the end points ( -3,-1 ) and ( -8,9 ) of a line and a point P = ( -6,m ) divides this line in a particular ratio.
Let us assume that it cuts the line in k : 1 ratio.
Then, the co-ordinates of P = .
But, = -6
i.e. -8k-3 = -6k-6
i.e. -2k = -3
i.e.
So, the ratio is k : 1 i.e i.e. 3 : 2.
Hence, the ratio in which P divides the line is 3 : 2.
Also, = m where
i.e. m =
i.e. m =
i.e. m =
i.e. m = 5.
Hence, the value of m is 5.
Answer:
3.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Ediburgh -------------------------------350 miles-------------------------London
Let the distance traveled by train from Edin to London be "x"
hence the distance traveled by train from London to Edin would be "350-x"
- The rate of Edin to London train is 60
- The rate of London to Edin train is 40
Let the time they meet be"t"
Now, we know distance formula to be D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
and
T is time
<u>Train from Edin to London:</u>
x = 60t
<u>Train from London to Edin:</u>
350-x = 40t
Solving for x:
350 - 40t = x
We put this into first equation:
x = 60t
350 - 40t = 60t
350 = 100t
t = 350/100
t = 3.5
They meet after 3.5 hours
