Answer: 4:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point P is \dfrac{4}{7} of the distance from M to N.

To find: The ratio in which the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N.

If Point P is between points M and N, then the ratio can be written as

\dfrac{MP}{MN}=\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}

As per given,

\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP}{MP}+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ -1+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}-1=\dfrac{7-4}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{3}{4}\ \ \or\ \dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Hence, P partition the directed line segment from M to N in 4:3.

The point (-7,4) is reflected across the y-axis then across the x-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected point?
barxatty [35]
The reflected coordinates are (7,4) You can find this out by imagining a point on the left upper  side in quadrant 2. Then, when you flip it to quadrant 1, both coordinates are positive!
