On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point a to point b. point a is at (7, negative 2) and point b is at (negative 8, neg

ative 9). what are the x- and y-coordinates of point c, which partitions the directed line segment from a to b into the ratio 5:8? round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. 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 (–2.2, –6.3) (–2.4, –6.4) (2.7, –0.7) (1.2, –4.7)

The coordinate of the partition c on the line segment is (1.2, -4.7)

<h3>How to determine the coordinates of the partition?</h3>

The coordinates are given as:

A = (7,-2)

B = (-8,-9)

m:n = 5:8

The coordinate of the partition is calculated using:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n} * (mx_2 + nx_1, my_2 + ny_1)

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{5 + 8} * (5 * -8 + 8 * 7, 5 * -9 + 8 * -2)

Evaluate the sum and products

(x,y) = \frac{1}{13} * (16, -61)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (1.2, -4.7)

Hence, the coordinate of the partition on the line segment is (1.2, -4.7)

Evaluate the summation of negative 5 n minus 1, from n equals 3 to 12..
NARA [144]

The summation of negative 5 n minus 1, from n equals 3 to 12 can be expressed as

n = 3/12

substitute the value of n to the equatio

-5n – 1

-5( 3/12 ) -1

-9/4

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.
