Answer:

\frac{b}{a} = - \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a+2b}{a-b} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

2(a - b) = 3(a + 2b) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

2a - 2b = 3a + 6b ( subtract 3a from both sides )

- a - 2b = 6b ( add 2b to both sides )

- a = 8b ( divide both sides by 8 )

- \frac{1}{8} a = b ( divide both sides by a )

- \frac{1}{8} = \frac{b}{a}

Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a+2b=2

a-b=3

Solve Simultaneous equations by Formula 1 - Formula 2

2b - (-b) = 2-3

3b = -1

b= -1/3

b= -1/3

so: a - (-1/3) = 3

a = 8/3

b/a=

(8/3) / (-1/3)

= (8/3) * (3/-1)

simplify

=-1/8

lesantik [10]

Answer:

  D.  The intersection of the angle bisectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incenter is equidistant from each of the sides of the triangle. An angle bisector is the set of points equidistant from the sides, so the incenter is the place where the angle bisectors meet.
