The coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

<h3>How to determine the coordinate of the point?</h3>

The given parameters are:

A = (1,8)

B = (7,-4)

The location of the point (i.e 5/6) means that the ratio is:

m :n = 5 : (6 - 5)

m : n = 5 : 1

The coordinate of the point is then calculated as:

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

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{5 + 1}* (5 * 7 + 1 * 1 , 5 * -4 + 1 * 8)

Evaluate

(x,y) = \frac{1}{6}* (36 , -12)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (6,-2)

Hence, the coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

The area of a rectangle is<br> 3/8 in and the length is 5/8 What is the width?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The width W is :

W=\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let A be the area of the rectangle </em>

<em>Let L be the length of the rectangle</em>

<em>Let W be the width of the rectangle </em>

______

Formula:

A = L × W

__________

\begin{aligned}A &=L \times W \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{A}{L} \\\Rightarrow W &=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{5}{8}} \\&=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} \\&=\frac{3 \times 8}{8 \times 5} \\&=\frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}
