The point that divides the line from M to E in ratio 1:3 is (-7/2,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

M(-6,7) = (x1,y1)

E(4,11) = (x2,y2)

Let the ratio be a:b

Then from 1:3

a=1

b=3

The formula for finding the point that divides the line segment into ratio a:b is:

$(\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{a+b},\frac{by_1+ay_2}{a+b})\\Putting\ the\ values\\(\frac{(3)(-6)+(1)(4)}{1+3},\frac{(3)(7)+(1)(11)}{1+3})\\(\frac{-18+4}{4},\frac{21+11}{4})\\(\frac{-14}{4},\frac{32}{4})\\(\frac{-7}{2},8)$

Hence,

The point that divides the line from M to E in ratio 1:3 is (-7/2,8)

<h2>Using the quadratic formula</h2>

The quadratic formula can help us solve for x in a quadratic equation:

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We can use this when the given equation is organized in standard form: $ax^2+bx+c=0$

<h3>Applying this to the problem</h3>

$2x^2+5x-4=0$

First we can identify the values of a, b and c:

a = 2

b = 5

c = -4

Plug these values into the quadratic formula:

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2-4(2)(-4)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25+32}}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-5 \pm \sqrt{57}}{4}$

<h2>Answer</h2>

Therefore, the two possible values of x are:

$x=\dfrac{-5 +\sqrt{57}}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-5 -\sqrt{57}}{4}$
