Answer:

(3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 5 = x

4x - y = 4

Since y-5 = x, substitute y-5 in place of x in the second equation:

4x- y = 4

4(y-5) - y = 4

4y - 4*5 - y = 4

3y - 20 = 4

3y = 24

y =8

Solve for x:

y - 5 = x

8-5 = x

3 = x

Check:

4x - y = 4

4(3) - 8 = 4

12 - 8 = 4

4 = 4

Check

y - 5 = x

8 - 5 = 3

3 = 3

Check!

y - 5 = x

4x - y = 4

Arrange:

y - 5 = x

-x + y = 5

-x + y = 5

4x - y = 4

Add together:

-x + y = 5

4x - y = 4

3x = 9

Solve for x:

x = 9 ÷ 3

x = 3

Substitute and solve y:

y - 5 = x

y - 5 = 3

y = 3 + 5

y = 8

x = 3

y = 8

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2 if A is at (1, 2) and B is at (8, 16).

Oliga [24]

5:2 is a 5 to 2 ratio
a midpoint P between tow points is
((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
I would start there, adjust it to get a ratio of 5:2 from 1:2
for one thing the point should be on the line between the other two points

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/5 is equivalent to 0.022. Yes, 0.0215 is less than 0.022.

This is clearer if you write the two values in a column:

0.0220 (larger than 0.0215)

0.0215 (smaller than 0.0220)
