Answer:

\left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{8},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{8} \right )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P is Three-fifths the length of the line segment from K to J

To find: x- and y-coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from K to J

Solution:

Section formula:

Let point K and J be (x_1,y_1)\,,\,(x_2,y_2) such that the point p(x,y) divides KJ in ratio m:n

Then coordinates of point  P are given by \left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right )

Take m:n=3:5

So,

coordinates of point P = \left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{3+5},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{3+5} \right )=\left ( \frac{3x_2+5x_1}{8},\frac{3y_2+5y_1}{8} \right )

The y-intercept in the linear equation −2y−4x−6=0 is _[blank]_. will give brainliest
Ronch [10]

Answer:

-3 is the value of the location where the line crosses the y-axis,and is commonly referred in the slope-intercept form of a line "the intercept". Now it may be your teacher expects you to answer this as the point on the plane where the y-intercept occurs, and that should be the point (0, -3). Make sure you follow your teacher's notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Re-write the equation given in slope=intercept form by isolating the variable "y" on one side of the equation and expressing the rest in slope*x + y-intercet form:

-2y-4x-6=0\\-4x-6=2y\\y=-2x-3\\

which tells us that the slope of the line is -2 and it y-intercept is "-3".

Now, watch out because you may be asked to write the actual coordinates of the y-intercept, which are: (0, -3)

giving the x-coordinate 0 and the y-value where the line crosses the y-axis.
