Question

Segment AB is shown on the graph. Which shows how to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide segment AB into a 2:3 ratio using the formula…

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

I got it right on edge trust me :)

Answer 2

`x=(2)/(5)* (2+3)-3`

Explanation:

The given ratio is 2:3.

x₁ = -3, x₂ = 2

We need to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide segment AB into a 2:3 ratio. The formula is as follows :

`x=(a)/(a+b)(x_2-x_1)+x_1`

Put all the values,

`x=(2)/(2+3)(2-(-3))+(-3)\\\\=(2)/(5)* (2+3)-3`

Hence, the correct option is (d).
