We have the coordinates
J (2,5)
K (4,19)
Since we are to find the point that partitions the line segment into 3:2 ratio, we have 5 equal parts of the line segment. So,
Get the horizontal distance:
4 - 2 = 2
Divide by 5
2/5
Multiply by 3
2/5 x 3 = 1.2
Add this to the x coordinate of J
2 + 1.2 = 2.2
Get the vertical distance:
19 - 5 = 14
Divide by 5
14/5
Multiply by 3
14/5 x 3 = 8.4
Add this to the y coordinate of J
5 + 8.4 = 13.4
The coordinates of the point is
(2.2,13.4)
Answer: 32
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps
Here, our equation is 3/5 (0.6) mile per 1/4 (0.25) hour. 0.25 times 4 = 1, so we have to multiply 1/4 (0.25) 4 times to get 1 mile. To get a proportional answer, we must also multiply 3/5 (0.6) by 4. This comes out to 2.4. So her walking rate is 2.4 miles per hour.
