Find the coordinates of point P

Here is the formula for finding a partitioning point:
x=x1+k(x2-x1), y=y1+k(y2-y1)
k is the ratio of the segment from the beginning point to the partitioning : the whole segment. In this case, k=AP:AB=5/16
so x=1+(5/16)*(-2-1)=1/16
y=6+(5/16)(-3-6)=51/16
so the answer is (-1/16, 51/16)

Please double check my calculation by yourself.

refer to this website for the formula and how to find k:

"This ratio is called k, and is determined by writing the numerator over the sum of the numerator and the denominator of the original ratio."

Is this a linear function? One person sends an email to 2 people. Those 2 people send it to 4 people, and those 4 send it to 8 p

Yes; this is a linear function because you plug in a number and multiply it by two, so the function would be y=2x, which is linear despite the fact that it lacks a b value.

Hope this helps! :)

For this case we have by definition of trigonometric relations of rectangular triangles that, the sine of an angle is given by the opposite leg to the angle on the hypotenuse of the triangle. Then according to the figure we have:

$Sin (40) = \frac {CA} {7}$
