The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Further explanation:

Given points are:

A(-8,7)=(x1,y1)

C(7,13)=(x2,y2)

IT is also given that

AB:BC=3:2

Which means that B divides the line segment in 3:2

Here,

m=3

n=2

To find the coordinates of B

x_B=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\\ = \frac{(3)(7)+(2)(-8)}{3+2}\\=\frac{21-16}{5}\\=\frac{5}{5}\\=1\\y_B=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\=\frac{(3)(-13)+(2)(7)}{3+2}\\=\frac{-39+14}{5}\\=\frac{-25}{5}\\=-5

The coordinates of point B are (1,-5)

The correct answer is A) (1,-5)

Answer:

a = 22

b = 31

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is the same in each row, column, and diagonal.

One of the diagonals is already complete.  The sum is:

16 + 25 + 34 = 75

So the first row adds up to 75:

a + 37 + 16 = 75

a = 22

The second row adds up to 75:

19 + 25 + b = 75

b = 31

And the third row adds up to 75:

34 + c + 28 = 75

c = 13

We can check our answer by finding the sum of each column and the other diagonal.

22 + 19 + 34 = 75

37 + 25 + 13 = 75

16 + 31 + 28 = 75

22 + 25 + 28 = 75
