Answer: ratio a:b = 3:5 p(X, 2) = p(9, 2)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plot points a = (12, 5) and b = (4, -3) and draw a line segment from a to b.
Notice that when y = 2, X = 9 so point p = (9, 2) <em>see graph</em>
The distance from a to p = 3√2
The distance from b to p = 5√2
So the ratio of a:b = 3√2:5√2 = 3:5 <em>when simplified</em>

<em>To find the distance, use the distance formula OR pythagorean theorem.</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of an equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
Since the slope is (1/2), we can write:
y = (1/2)x + b
We want a value of b such that it forces the line to go through point (-10,9). Enter that point in the equation and solve for b:
y = (1/2)x + b
9 = (1/2)*(-10) + b
9 = -5 + b
b = 14
The eqyuation of a line with a slope of (1/2) and goes through point (-10,9) is:
y = (1/2)x + 14
See attachment.
Let m<6 be X
140° + X = 180°
X = 180° - 140°
X =40°
