Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)
Answer:
4/42 = 2/21 when simplified down
Step-by-step explanation:
Cancel the common factor: 2
=2/21
B, 2 5/8.
2 and 5/8 times itself is 5 1/4, meaning its half of 5 1/4.
0.5 is the first way
1/2 is the second way
50% is the third way.
Hope that helps bud :).
