Observing the line of the problem we can see that each division represents -1/3. From zero to - 1 we have 3 divisions, then - 1/3 for each division.
From scratch, P is the fifth division, so
P = (- 1/3) x 5
<h3>P = - 5/3</h3>or
<h3>P = - 1.6666...</h3><em>just looking at the figure already conclude that P < - 1 and P > - 2</em>
<em>so </em><em>{P | - 2 < P < - 1}</em>
<em>or just P < - 1</em>

Answer:
D(-2, 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that M is the midpoint of CD and that C = (10, -5) and M = (4, 0).
And we want to determine the coordinates of D.
Recall that the midpoint is given by:
Let C(10, -5) be (<em>x</em>₁<em>, y</em>₁) and Point D be (<em>x</em>₂<em>, y</em>₂). The midpoint M is (4, 0). Hence:
This yields two equations:
Solve for each:
And:
In conclusion, Point<em> </em>D = (-2, 5).
