Answer 2

@amistre64 can you please help me solve it

Answer 3

its asking for a y value

y is from 4 to -2 if we read this as J to K

and we want to divvy this up into 3+1 parts to get it into a 3 to 1 ratio

Answer 4

what are your thoughts on it?

Answer 5

that x will be between -3 and 4 and y would be between 4 and -2 like you said

Answer 6

I just dont understand the 3:1 ratio like how do you divide it?

Answer 7

3 parts to 1 part is a division into 4 equal parts

4 to -2 has 6 parts to it: so each part is equal to 6/4

Answer 8

4 - 3(6/4) should get us to 3 parts from J and 1 part from K

Answer 9

so its 0.5 right?

Answer 10

-0.5

Answer 11

4 - 3(6/4)


16 - 18
