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.

22. Solve the system
DaniilM [7]
Equation 1)  x + 6y = 2
Equation 2)  5x + 4y = 36

Multiply all of equation 1 by 5.

1)  5(x + 6y = 2)

Simplify.

1)  5x + 30y = 10
2)  5x + 4y = 36

Subtract equations from one another.

26y = -26

Divide both sides by 26.

y = -1

Plug in -1 for y in the first equation.

x + 6y = 2

x + 6(-1) = 2

Simplify.

x - 6 = 2

Add 6 to both sides.

x = 8

D : (8, -1)
