R(–3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4) be the given points and let R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio 1:2.

By section formula,

R(x, y)=R\left(\frac{m x_{2}+n x_{1}}{m+n}, \frac{m y_{2}+n y_{1}}{m+n}\right)

Here, x_{1}=-9, y_{1}=8, \text { and } x_{2}=9, y_{2}=-4 \text { and } m=1, n=2

Substituting this in the section formula

R(x, y)=R\left(\frac{1(9)+2(-9)}{1+2}, \frac{1(-4)+2(8)}{1+2}\right)  

To simplifying the expression, we get

\Rightarrow R(x, y)=R\left(\frac{9-18}{3}, \frac{-4+16}{3}\right)

\Rightarrow R(x, y)=R\left(\frac{-9}{3}, \frac{12}{3}\right)

⇒ R(x,y) = R(–3,4)  

Hence, the coordinates of point R is (–3, 4).

Divide 6.391 ÷ 0.57. Round the quotient to the nearest hundredth.
Paul [167]
The answer is 11.21, dividing 6.391 by 0.57 will give you 11.2122807018.
Rounding to 11.21 because the thousandths place is less then 5 so the hundredths place stays the same.
