Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{4}{9} (5+2) -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at –2 and point B is at 5.

divide the segment into a 4:5 ratio using the formula x = (x2 – x1) + x1

Formula that divides the line segment is

$x=\frac{a}{a+b} (x_2-x_1) + x_1$

where a, b is the given ratio

a=4, b= 5, x1= -2 and x2= 5

Plug in all the values in the formula

$x=\frac{4}{4+5} (5-(-2)) -2$

$x=\frac{4}{9} (5+2) -2$
