We have that
<span>A(-6,-5) and B (4,0)

we know that
</span><span>AP:PB is 2:3
so
(2+3)=5
AP=2/5
PB=3/5

step 1
find the x coordinate of P
Px=Ax+AP*ABx
where
Ax is the x coordinate of A
AP is 2/5
ABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
so
PX=[-6+(2/5)*(4+6)]------>Px=-2

</span>step 2
find the y coordinate of P
Py=Ay+AP*ABy
where
Ay is the y coordinate of A
AP is 2/5
ABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
so
Py=[-5+(2/5)*(0+5)]------>Py=-3

the point P is (-2,-3)

see the attached figure

Determine the x and y intercepts for the line 3x – 5y + 15 = 0. Show your work.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The x and y intercepts occur when either x or y = 0

For the y intercept, x = 0

3(0) - 5y + 15 = 0

- 5y + 15 = 0                  Subtract 15 from both sides.

-5y = - 15                       Divide by - 5

-5y / -5 = - 15/-5

y = 3

For x intercept, y = 0

3x - 5(0) + 15 = 0

3x + 15 = 0                    Subtract 15 from both sides

3x = - 15                        Divide by 3

3x/3 = - 15/3

x = - 5

xintercept = (-5,0)

yintercept = (0,3)

The value of y varies directly as x and y is 9 when x is -3 what constant of variation k?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Y/x=k

when y=9, then x= -3
        9/-3=-3
⇒ k= -3
