Segment in the direction from A to C
Initial Point: A=(9,5)=(xa,ya)→xi=xa=9, yi=ya=5
Final point: C=(-7,1)=(xc,yc)→xf=xc=-7, yf=yc=1
B=(xb,yb)=?
Proportion: r=AB/BC=3:1=3/1→r=3

xb=(xi+r*xf)/(1+r)
Replacing xi=xa=9, xf=xc=-7 and r=3
xb=[9+3*(-7)]/(1+3)
xb=(9-21)/4
xb=(-12)/4
xb=-3

yb=(yi+r*yf)/(1+r)
Replacing yi=ya=5, yf=yc=1 and r=3
yb=[5+3*(1)]/(1+3)
yb=(5+3)/4
yb=8/4
yb=2

B=(xb,yb)→B=(-3,2)

Answer: B=(-3,2)

If m represents the number of months Janet has been reading books, the equation 4m=(m-1) represents the situation where Alex and

12345 [234]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression that represents the situation where Alex and Janet have read the same number of books as

4m = m-1

where m represents the number of months Janet has been reading books,

To calculate m

STEP 1: subtract m from both sides

4m - m = -1

3m = -1

Step2; divide both sides by 3

3m/3 = -1/3

m = -1/3

Hence the value of m is -1/3
