\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-5,4)\qquad B(7,-4)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{1:3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies 3A=1B\implies 3(-5,4)=1(7,-4)

(\stackrel{x}{-15}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{12})=(\stackrel{x}{7}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-4})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{-15 +7}}{1+3}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{12 -4}}{1+3} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{-8}{4}~~,~~\cfrac{8}{4} \right)\implies P=(-2~~,~~2)

Julli [10]
<span>This is asking for a linear function. The base pay is $150, so even if she sells nothing, she cannot be paid less than $150. Because of this, we make that out y-intercept. The number of appliances sold is a variable, so we make that the "X" and multiply that by the amount made ($45) on each additional item sold. You then follow the Order of Operations (PEMDAS) to make your equation.</span>
