Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a segment C(x, y) that divides the line segment AB with endpoints A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2) in the ratio m:n is:

x=\frac{m}{n+m} (x_2-x_1)+x_1\\\\y=\frac{m }{n+m} (y_2-y_1)+y_1

A point (x, y) divides the directed line segment from J(-6, -2) to K(8, -9) into a ratio of 2:5. Hence:

x=\frac{2}{2+5}(8-(-6))+(-6)\\\\x=4-6\\\\x=-2\\\\

Also:

y=\frac{2}{2+5}(-9-(-2))+(-2)\\\\y=-2-2\\\\y=-4

The point is (-2, -4)

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=5 when x=6. What is y when x=5? Be sure to simplify your answer.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

y = \frac{25}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 when x = 6

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{5}{6}

y = \frac{5}{6} x ← equation of variation

When x = 5, then

y = \frac{5}{6} × 5 = \frac{25}{6}

Petco makes a profit of $9 per bag on its line of natural cat food. If the store wants to make a profit of at least
Nata [24]

Answer:

x ≥ 767

The number of bags sold must be greater than or equal to 767 to make a minimum profit of $6900.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they want a profit of at least $6900, then the total amount earned would have to be ≥ 6900. You can always earn more than $6900, but the lowest should be equal to $6900.

So if we use x as the number of bags sold, and we know that each bag will earn $9, then x • 9 ≥ 6900.

If we divide both sides by 9, then the number of bags sold must be ≥ 767.
