OpenStudy (gabebae):
what's n?
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
wait
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
n is the m:n ratio
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
\[y=\frac{ my_2+ny_1 }{ m+n }\]

OpenStudy (gabebae):
ooh
OpenStudy (gabebae):
can you give me an example to solve?
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
use formula:
\[[\frac{ mx_2+nx_1 }{ m+n }, \frac{ my_2+ny_1 }{ m+n }]\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
we have
(x1,y1) = (-1,2)
(x2,y2) = (4,-5)
m:n = 2:3
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
plug in and solve

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
in our case (x1, y1)=(-3, -3) and (x2, y2)=(2, 4) i guess
OpenStudy (gabebae):
\[\frac{ 2(4)+3(1)}{ 2+3 } , \frac{ 2(-5)+3(2)) }{ 2+3 }\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yeah
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

the point is -1, not 1
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
it should be 3*(-1), not 3*(1)
OpenStudy (gabebae):
sorry
OpenStudy (gabebae):
Is the final answer 1, -0.8
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yeah

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
not for the example
OpenStudy (gabebae):
what would the answer be for the example
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
(1, -0.8)
OpenStudy (gabebae):
why is the answer a decimal in the question they gave me
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
because you need to find only y point
