Not only you're gonna divide 8 by -3 for some reason, but you also divide all terms by -3. For instance,
(-3y = -2x + 8) / -3
(-3/-3)y = (-2/-3)x + 8/-3
y = (2/3)x - 8/3

Hope this helps.

Find the coordinates of a point that divides the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3. A) (2, 2) B) (4, 1) C) (–6, 6) D) (4

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.

let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)

To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at $(x_1,y_1)$ and point Q at $(x_2,y_2)$ in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

$x-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1$

line segment PQ is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

$x-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(-2-3)+3 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(4-1)+1$
