Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be

C (5;4) , A (2;1) ; B(7;6)

Suppose that C divide the line AB in ratio m/n from point A (AC is m, CB is n)

Use the formula xc=(m*xb+n*xa)/ (m+n)

5=(m*7+2n)/(m+n)

5m+5n= 7m+2n

2m=3n

m/n=3/2

Answer: x = 12, y = 50

Step-by-step explanation: 2y-5 and 95 are vertical angles and vertical angles are always congruent (equal). So, 2y - 5 = 95. 2y = 100. y = 50. Solving for x is slightly more difficult. 3x and 144 are linear pairs and linear pairs are adjacent and equal 180° because a straight line is 180°. So 3x + 144 = 180. 3x = 36. x = 12.
