A.
ratio 1 to 1
alright
find the distance between the x values and the y values and seperate each into that ratio
1:1
A to B is (6,12) to (15,-4)
disatnce from 6 to 15 is 9, ratio would be 4.5:4.5=1:1
distance from 12 to -4 is 16, ratio would be 8:8=1:1
so the point would be (4.5,8)
b.
5:2
5+2=7
alright
A to C
(6,12) to (20,12)
distance from 6 to 20 is 14, 14/7=2, 2 times 5=10
distance from 12 to 12=0, so same coordinate
the point is (10,12)
c.
2+3=5
C to B
C is (20,12) and B is (15,-4)
distance from 20 to 15 is 5, so 2 is the x value
distance from 12 to -4 is 16, 16/5 times 2=32/5
the point is (2,32/5)
I believe that choice A is the best answer out of those given above.

Hey Brion,
1) <span>Evaluate 2A - 3B for A = 7 and B = -2.
To solve this start by filling in the variables.
2(7) - 3(-2)
Now multiply, remember that a positive times a negative is a negative.
14 - (-6)
Finally, subtract. Remember, Keep, Change, Change (KCC). Keep the first number, change symbol (for subtraction use addition), and change the negative number to a positive number.
14 + 6 = 20
</span><span>2) If x = -3, then x 2-7x + 10 equals
Start by filling in the variables.
-3(2) - 7(-3) + 10
Now follow PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction) to solve. Remember K.C.C (no. 1 above)
</span>-3(2) - 7(-3) + 10
<span>(-6) - (-21) + 10
(-6) + (21) + 10
15 + 10
25*****See NOTE!***
</span><span>_____________________________________________________________
Note: For #2 you may be missing a symbol between the first "x" and "2" because the answer I got above (25) is not one of your choices. Let me know what symbol is missing in the equation: </span><span>x 2-7x + 10, and I will help you solve it.</span>
The answer is -29, hope this helps
