Answer:

The point will be (4,-5), this can be deduced by noticing that between A and C there is an increase of 0.75 in x, and a decrease of 2.5 in y-axis. Therefore, three point later, the coordinates will be the ones given.

This can also be deduced, finding the form y=mx+b, where with the two points we obtain $m=\frac{5-2.5}{1-1.75}=\frac{10}{3}$ and b=8.333, therefore with a value x of 4, we obtain 5.

a certain shade of blue is made by mixing 1.5 quarts of blue paint with 5 quarts of white paint. If you need a total of 16.25 ga

Law Incorporation [45]

we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

$\bf \cfrac{blue}{white}\qquad \stackrel{ratio}{1.5:5}\qquad \cfrac{1.5}{5}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}\implies \cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1.5\cdot 2.5}{5\cdot 2.5}\implies \cfrac{3.75}{12.5}\qquad \qquad \boxed{\stackrel{blue}{3.75}~:~\stackrel{white}{12.5}}$
