Find the y value for the point that divides the line segment XY into a ratio of 1:2. Segment XY is shown. X is at -6, -1 and Y is at 5, 1. A. −0.3
B. 6.2
C.3
D. 2.8
I believe its -0.3, but I'm not completely sure.

-0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is -0.3 because the other ones wouldn't make any sense if you put in on the number line but I'll come back when I finish the test to tell you if its right :)

Edit** It is correct I just took the test :)

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
