Find the point P that is 2/5 of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB

The point P(–4, 4) that is \frac{2}{5} of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB.

Solution:

The points of the line segment are A(–8, –2) and B(6, 19).

P is the point that bisect the line segment in \frac{2}{5}.

So, m = 2 and n = 5.

x_1=-8, y_1=-2, x_2=6, y_2=19

By section formula:

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{2\times 6+5\times (-8)}{2+5}, \frac{2\times 19+5\times (-2)}{2+5}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{12-40}{7}, \frac{38-10}{7}\right)

$P(x, y)=\left(\frac{-28}{7}, \frac{28}{7}\right)

P(x, y) = (–4, 4)

Hence the point P(–4, 4) that is \frac{2}{5} of the way from A to B on the directed line segment AB.

Which of the following properties will most likely have the lowest
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is A: a steel building.

Explanation:

A steel building will have the lowest premiums out of all the choices given above. After reading several insurance companies policies, a steel building has premiums 30% lower than any other homeowner policy. Steel is harder to destroy in a fire and the damage would be less than a wood home, mixed composition, or even an all brick home.  

A wood home has the highest premiums out of all the choices given. When one catches on fire, they will burn fast and usually is a total loss unless the fire trucks get there in minutes.

A brick home can still be destroyed by fire on the inside even if the damage is minimal on the outside of the home.

A mixed composition home, will also be damaged by fire and could be a total loss unless fire trucks are there within minutes.
