Since M divides segment AB into a ratio of 5:2, we can say that M is 5/(5+2) of the length of AB. Therefore 5/7 × AB.
distance of AB = d
5/7×(x2 - x1) for the x and 5/7×(y2 - y1) for the y
5/7×(8 - 1) = 5/7 (7) = 5 for the x
and 5/7×(16 - 2) = 5/7 (14) = 10 for the y
But remember the line AB starts at A (1, 2),
so add 1 to the x: 5+1 = 6
and add 2 to the y: 10+2 = 12
Therefore the point M lies exactly at...
A) (6, 12)
To find the answer first find the base number or 1% of $188 which is 1.88. Next find what percent is asking for 25% so multiply by 25 1.88 which is 47 so 47-188 = 141 this is one way to do it
If you plug in the x and y of choice b you would see that it does not equal 18.
6(3) + 3(-1) = 18
18 + (-3) = 15
52 is the answer to this question
