Please Help Find the coordinates of the point P that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio.

A(-6, 9), B(2, 1); Ratio 5 to 3

The coordinates of the point P = (x, y) = (-1, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of P be (x, y)

Using the section formula

x = [(mx₂ + nx₁)] / [(m+n)]

   = [5(2)+3(-6)] / [5+3]

   = [10-18] / [8]

   = -8/8

    = -1

y = [(my₂ + ny₁)] / [(m+n)]

   = [5(1)+3(9)] / [5+3]

   = [5+27] / [8]

   = 32/8

    = 4

Therefore, the coordinates of the point P = (x, y) = (-1, 4)

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p
