Point A is located at (0, 4) and point C is located at (−3, 5). Find the x value for point B that is located one over four the distance from point A to point C. −0.25 −0.5 −0.75 −1
|dw:1393463290377:dw|
-0.75!?
mind helping me in one more thing? please?
-0.75 no,you can ask.
So you'd help?
yes,you can ask.
Using the image below, find the x value for the point that divides the line segment AB into a ratio of 2:3. −1 −0.4 0 0.5
|dw:1393464186344:dw| \[x=\frac{ mx2+nx1 }{m+n}\] \[y=\frac{ my2+ny1 }{ m+n }\] you can use this formula to find x .
Oket let me plug in the numbers and tell you what i get
yes you can show me .
I got -2/5 , 4 not sure if I did it right
correct
Yayy! So whats the next step?
you want x value only \[x=\frac{ 2*5+3\left( -4 \right) }{2+3 }=\frac{ 10-12 }{ 5 }=-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=-0.4\]
thank you thank you thank youu!!! I really needed this, and you taught me some things!
you are most welcome,i am happy that i helped you.
