anyanavicka [17]
To eliminate a cariable in a system of equations, we multiply the variable by a factor that will make both coefficients of the variable to be equal.
Thus, we multiply the coefficient of y in the second equation by a factor that will make it equal to the coefficient of y in the first equation. i.e. multiply 1/2 by a factor that makes it equal to 3/4. and the factor is 3/2.
Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.

Point R lies on the directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 5. What are t
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Section formula

x_{R} = \frac{3(4)+5(-8)}{3+5} = \frac{12-40}{8} = \frac{-28}{8} = - 3.5

y_{R} = \frac{3(-2)+5(-10)}{3+5} = \frac{-6-50}{8} = \frac{-56}{8} = - 7

Thus coordinates of R = (- 3.5, - 7 )
