Answer:

p(x,y) = (-2.6 ,2.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a(-5,4) and b(7,-4)

Required

Partition P

Given that the segment ab is divided into ratio;

The coordinates of point p can be calculated using ratio formula given below

p(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n})

Where m and n are the ratio; m = 1 and n = 4

(x_1, y_1) = (-5,4); \\(x_2, y_2) = (7,-4)

So,

p(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}) becomes

p(x,y) = (\frac{1 *7 + 4 * -5}{1+4} ,\frac{1 * -4 + 4 * 4}{1+4})

p(x,y) = (\frac{7 + -20}{5} ,\frac{-4 + 16}{5})

p(x,y) = (\frac{-13}{5} ,\frac{12}{5})

p(x,y) = (-2.6 ,2.4)

Hence, the coordinates of p are (-2.6,2.4)

Find the area of a rectangle with the length of 1 3/4 foot and a width of 1 1/2 foot.
Stolb23 [73]
To find the Area you need to use the formula L x W!! Anyways, You have to multiply the Length x the width. Your Length is 1 3/4 and your width is 1 1/2. So 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 is 2 5/8!!
