We have been given two points. 
and 
. We are asked to find the point B such that it divides line segment AC so that the ratio of AB to BC is 4:1.
We will use segment formula to solve our given problem.
When a point P divides segment any segment internally in the ratio 
, then coordinates of point P are:
![[\right x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\left]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cright%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7Bmx_2%2Bnx_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7Bmy_2%2Bny_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5Cleft%5D)
and 
.
Upon substituting our given information in above formula, we will get:
![[\right x=\frac{4(3)+1(3)}{4+1},y=\frac{4(9)+1(4)}{4+1}\left]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cright%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%283%29%2B1%283%29%7D%7B4%2B1%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%289%29%2B1%284%29%7D%7B4%2B1%7D%5Cleft%5D)
![[\right x=\frac{12+3}{5},y=\frac{36+4}{5}\left]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cright%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B12%2B3%7D%7B5%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%2B4%7D%7B5%7D%5Cleft%5D)
![[\right x=\frac{15}{5},y=\frac{40}{5}\left]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cright%20x%3D%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B5%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B40%7D%7B5%7D%5Cleft%5D)
![[\right x=3,y=8\left]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cright%20x%3D3%2Cy%3D8%5Cleft%5D)
Therefore, the coordinates of point B would be 
.

-20 = x/2 + 7
-20 -7 = x/2 + 7 -7
-27 = x/2
-54 = x
x = -54
because it's math rule
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations express y in terms of x we can equate the right sides
3x + 5 = - x + 3 ( add x to both sides )
4x + 5 = 3 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
4x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = - 0.5
substitute x = - 0.5 in either of the 2 equations
using y = - x + 3 then y = 0.5 + 3 = 3.5
solution is (- 0.5, 3.5 ) → c
