Answer:

P = (-5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the segments be A and B

A = (-9,3)

B = (1,8)

m:n = 2:3

Required

Determine the endpoints after it is divided into ratios.

<em>Let the point be represented with P</em>

The formula to use is:

P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})

Where

A = (-9,3)  ----- (x_1,y_1)

B = (1,8) ------ (x_2,y_2)

So:

P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})

P = (\frac{2 * 1 + 3 * -9}{2 + 3},\frac{2 * 8 + 3 * 3}{2 + 3})

P = (\frac{-25}{5},\frac{25}{5})

P = (-5,5)

1 and 2 are a linear pair, and 2 and 3 are vertical angles. m 2=(5+4 y) and m 3=(6 y-25). what is m 1
poizon [28]
Vertical angles are equal to each other:
        ∠2     =    ∠3
     5 + 4y = 6y - 25
 →      30 = 2y
→       15 = y

∠2 = 5 + 4y = 5 + 4(15) = 5 + 60 = 65

linear pairs equal 180:
     ∠1 + ∠2 = 180
→ ∠1 + 65 = 180
→      ∠1    = 115
