Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of a point which divides the segment XY in the ratio of m : n is (x, y).

Segment X(-4, -9) and Y(4, 7) has been divided in the ratio of 2 : 6.

Therefore, x = \frac{[4m+n(-4)]}{m+n}=\frac{8-24}{2+6}

                    = -\frac{16}{8}

                    = -2

and y = \frac{[7m+n(-9)]}{m+n}=\frac{14-54}{2+6}

         = -\frac{40}{8}

         = -5

Therefore, the point (x, y) is (-2, -5).

Option D. will be the answer.

What is the value of v?
sammy [17]
Basically, this is saying that 80% of (x) = 2 so you have know what the whole would be. It would be 2.5 because 80% of 2.5 is 2. So because you are subtracting 7 from v to get 2.5, you have to add 2.5 to 7 to get v. V=9.5
