Where are yall at? I NEED HELP!

X marks the Spot? It looks like you need to draw a line on the map and see at what point the two lines intersect.

The point of intersection, where screamers to those who ran away ratio is 2:3, is (7, 10.5) on the map.

To find the point of intersection, we can set up an equation based on the given ratio. Let's denote the number of screamers as S and the number who ran away as R. The ratio is 2:3, so we can write:


\((S)/(R) = (2)/(3)\)

Now, we are given two sets of values for screamers and those who ran away:

1. S = 4, R = 6

2. S = 10, R = 15

We can use these values to set up two equations and solve for the point of intersection:

1.
\((4)/(6) = (2)/(3)\)

2.
\((10)/(15) = (2)/(3)\)

Both equations are true, which means any point along the line connecting these two sets of values will satisfy the ratio. The point of intersection is the midpoint between these two sets:


\(\left((4+10)/(2), (6+15)/(2)\right) = (7, 10.5)\)

So, the point where the two lines intersect is (7, 10.5).
