Answer:
(3.8, 6.8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point B:
Has coordinates (x,y)
AB and BC form a 2:3 ratio.
This means that:
We apply this both for the x-coordinate and for the y-coordinate.
x-coordinate:
x-coordinate of A: 3
x-coordinate of C: 5
x-coordinate of B: x
y-coordinate:
y-coordinate of A: 4
y-coordinate of C: 11
y-coordinate of B: y
Thus the correct answer is:
(3.8, 6.8)
9514 1404 393
Explanation:
We can find the slope by solving for y.
3x +2y +7 = 5x +3y +10
-2x -3 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -5x-10-2y to both sides of the equation
In this form, the slope (m) is the coefficient of x, -2. Hence m = -2.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
A graph of the equation shows it has an x-intercept of -1.5 and a y-intercept of -3. The slope (m) is then "rise" divided by "run", or ...
m = rise/run = -3/1.5
m = -2
