Question

please help me somebody !!!!!

Answer 1

What?

Answer 2

You need help in math?.... ok then

Answer 3

Instead of asking help, you should ask the question.

Answer 4

find the point that divides the line segment AB into a ratio of 2:3.

Answer 5

I don't know yall im really stuck

Answer 6

A(x,y) = (-4,6) B(x,y) = (5,1)
Let say the point we are looking for is P(x,y). For a linear line length ratio is also equal to vertical and horizontal part ratios.
For x :
\[\frac{ [x component of A]-x }{ x-[x component of B] } = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } = \frac{ -4-x }{ x-5 }\]
\[2(x-5) = 3(-4-x)\]
\[5x = -2\]
x = -2/5

Similar to x, find y. Then do the same calculations for the ratio 3/2.

In total you will have two points.

Answer 7

@candace21 hmmm can you see the coordinates for A and B?

Answer 8

so whats the answer for the question I gave you ?
