Question

andre is traveling from jeffersonville to springfield. he plans to stop for a break when the distance he has traveled and the distance he has left to travel have a ratio of 3:7. where should andre stop for his break? jeffersonville, J (-15, 2). springfield, S (25, 17)

Answer 1

she should stop at (-3, 6.5 )

Answer 2

Andre should stop at (-3 , 6.5)

Explanation:

The change in x is from -15 to 25 which is 40 units. 40 x 3/10 = 12 which means Andre moves 12 units right starting from -15 so the x coordinate is -15+12 = -3

The change in y is from 2 to 17 which is 15 units. 15 x 3/10 = 4.5 which means Andre moves 4.5 units up starting from 2 so the y coordinate is 2+4.5 = 6.5.
