R(–3, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4) be the given points and let R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio 1:2.
By section formula,
Here, 
Substituting this in the section formula
To simplifying the expression, we get
⇒ R(x,y) = R(–3,4)
Hence, the coordinates of point R is (–3, 4).
Your answer would be -2.2
We are given:
the center of the rink at the origin.
A skating path (Susan): y = 6x - x^2 - 5
Starting point of Luke = (10, -21)
Path (Luke) = quadratic eq'n with vertex at (8, -9)
Radius = 35 meters
The solution that best interprets the path of the skaters is to substitute Luke's starting point to Susan's path or set-up a quadratic equation with vertex of (8,-9) and then equate to Susan's path to solve for their intersection.
( [72-60] / 72 )*100 = 50 / 3 = 16.7 %
