Since we need a point that divides K-->J into two segments in a 1:3 ratio, let's flip it to a 3:1 ratio in the J-->K direction. That means that this point is 3/(3+1) = 3/4 of the way up line JK.
Let's take 3/4 of the x of K (plus the 1 for the x of J):
3/4×(9 - 1) + 1 (because the beginning ofvthe line, at J, has an x of 1)...
3/4×(8) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
Therefore the answer is C) 7
Answer:
y= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2y - 5y= -7y
-7y=42
42/-7=
y= -6
Answer:
x = 8 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3y = 1 --(1)
x + 2y = 18
x = 18 - 2y --(2)
sub (2) into (1):
2(18 - 2y) - 3y = 1
36 - 4y - 3y = 1
-7y = 1 -36
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 18 - 2(5) = 8
