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)

A jar contains 18 apple lollipops, 7 strawberry lollipops, and 10 grape lollipops. Irvin randomly selects a lollipop, gives it t
andrey2020 [161]
First  choice is  "1 of 10 grape lollipops from 35 lollipops"  
The probablity is 10/35 = 2/7 
Second choice is  "1 of 18 apple lollipops from 34 lollipops"  
So probablity is 18/34 = 9/17 
Between this is  AND so you have to these probablities multiply:
P(A) = 2/7 * 9/17 = 18/119 
P(A) = 18/119 * 100% = 1800/119 %
It is approximaly 15,1 %.
