Answer: \left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Point A is at (-5, -4) and point B at (-3, 3).

We need to find the coordinates of the point which is 3/4 of the way from A to B.

Let the required point be P.

AP:AB=3:4

AP:PB=AP:(AB-AP)=3:(4-1)=3:1

It means, point P divides segment AB in 3:1.

Section formula:  If a point divides a line segment in m:n, then

\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Using section formula, we get

P=\left(\dfrac{3(-3)+1(-5)}{3+1},\dfrac{3(3)+1(-4)}{3+1}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-9-5}{4},\dfrac{9-4}{4}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-14}{4},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)

P=\left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right)

Therefore, the required point is \left(\dfrac{-7}{2},\dfrac{5}{4}\right).

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3)?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 3-7)/(2- -2)

   = (3-7)/(2+2)

    = -4/4

   = -1
