First you multiply the numbers you do have to get the number your looking for 1/7•14=2 and 2divided by 1/7=14 so 2 would be your answer
Alright, so we have the difference = 4500-2800=1700. To find the percent increase, we do 1700/2800=around 0.61 = around 61% percent
When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.
x-coordinate: (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate: (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1
Adding them to the coordinates of a,
x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).
In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for

and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:

Simplify:



We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:




Now we have our second one. We can combine them:

I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:

Add them up:

Simplify:

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:



So, the answers are

and
