We have that
<span>A (-8, -2) and B(16,6)
step 1
find the distance AB in the x coordinates
dABx=(16-(-8))-----> 24 units
step 2
find coordinate x of P (Px)
Px=Ax+(3/5)*dABx------> Px=(-8)+(3/5)*24----> 6.4
step 3
F</span>ind the distance AB in the y coordinates
dABy=(6-(-2))-----> 8 units
step 4
find coordinate y of P (Py)
Py=Ay+(3/5)*dABy------> Py=(-2)+(3/5)*8----> 2.8
the coordinates of P are (6.4,2.8)
see the attached figure
Answer:
First it says that you have to multiply the number x times 2, this will give you 2x as a result. Next you have to build your equation which is 2x=10, when you have an equation like this, you divide the result with the number before x (x=10÷2) your result will be x=5. Now you have to square the result (which is x) to get y, when squaring a number you have to multiply it by itself (depending of how many times it's asking to do so when there's a small number at the upper right corner of your number, that's how many times you multiply it) so if you have to square 5, it should be 5×5 which gives you the result of y being 25.
