Find the point C such that AC and BC form a 2:3 ratio.
(−1, 1.2)
(−0.6, 3)
(0, 2.4)
(0.5, 2)

Good! Now, see the situation in the figure |dw:1404239855683:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we have to use the slope formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We want to find the coordinates of the point which divides AB in a ratio of m1:m2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't understand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the coordinates of this point be (x,y) then
\[x = \frac{ m _{1}x _{2} + m _{2} x _{1} }{ m _{1}+m _{2}}\]

And y = \[y = \frac{ m _{1}y _{2} + m _{2} y _{1} }{ m _{1}+m _{2}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now A (-3, 5) gives you x1 = -3 and y1 = 5;
B (3, 0) gives you x2 = 3 and y2 = 0
And m1:m2 is 2:3, so m1 = 2 and m2 = 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Put these values in the formula and get the values of x and y.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@shinebrightlikeadimon Could you find x and y ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let me see

y = 15 / 5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, y = 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = -0.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Great! So the point C is (-0.6,3).

Box A has a volume of 24 cubic meters. Box B is similar to Box A. To create Box B, Box A's dimensions were multiplied by four. What is the volume of Box B?
6 m3
1,536 m3
384 m3 <--- my answer
96 m3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. This time you are wrong. :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the side of the cube A is s then its volume is s^3. Right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The side of the cube B is 4s, So it's volume should be (4s)^3 i.e 64 s^3. Right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats i.e?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We are assuming that boxes are cubical. i.e stands for "that is"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
now what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But s^3 is 24 cubic meters
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So volume of B should be 64*s^3 = ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 64 x 24?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1536
