Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n  and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB

in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3

Point P( -1, -3)

God with you!!!

p varies directly as q and inversely as r. One set of values is p = 5, q = 1, and r = 2. Find p when q = 10 and r = 50.
kari74 [83]
P = kq/r

5 = k*1/2
k = 2*5 = 10

p = 5*10/50 = 1
P is 1.

Hope it helps!
