On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point a to point b. point a is at (9, negative 8) and point b is at (negative 6, 7).

what are the x- and y- coordinates of point p on the directed line segment from a to b such that p is two-thirds the length of the line segment from a to b? x = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (x 2 minus x 1) x 1 y = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (y 2 minus y 1) y 1 (2, –1) (4, –3) (–1, 2) (3, –2)

Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of p in the line segment are given as follows: (-1,2).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the points are:

  • Point a(9, -8).
  • Point b(-6, 7).
  • Point p(x, y).

p is two-thirds the length of the line segment from a to b, hence:

p - a = \frac{2}{3}(b - a)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

x - 9 = \frac{2}{3}(-6 - 9)

x - 9 = -10

x = -1

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

y + 8 = \frac{2}{3}(7 - (-8))

y + 8 = 10

y = 2.

The coordinates of p are (-1,2).

The question is Stephen read for 34 minutes on Monday and 45 minutes on Tuesday. Use breaking apart to find how many minutes Ste
user100 [1]
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.


The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45

The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45

Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9

Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

The answer: Stephen read for 79 minutes total.
