Answer:
C. (-1.5, 8.875)
Step-by-step explanation:
on a coordinate plane if point(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is divided by a point p in ratio of m:n then coordinate of point p is given by
p = (nx1 + mx2/ m+n, ny1+my2/m+n)
_______________________________________________
Given point
A (-9, 4) and B (11, 17)
ratio 3:5
m:n = 3:5
m+n = 3+5 = 8
coordinate of point p that partition AB
x = (5*-9 + 3*11) / 5+3 y = (5*4 + 3*17) / 5+3
x = (-45 + 33) / 8 y = (20 + 51) / 8
x = (-12) / 8 y = (71) / 8
x = -3 / 2 = -1.5 y = 8.875
Thus, coordinate of point p is (-1.5, 8.875).
I think the answer should be 4.7 but rounded up would be 5

Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides of the triangle proportionally. This tells us ...
y/6 = 8/4
y = 6(2) . . . . . multiply by 6
y = 12
