Question

Please help me write an equation.

Answer 1

k=6

Explanation:

Line partition formula

1/b(x2-x1)+x1, 1/b(y2-y1)+y1

Where b is the number partitions.

We know the x values so Subsitue 17 for x2 and 2 for x1. and we know this value must equal 7.

1/b(17-2)+2=7

1/b(15)=5

1/b=1/3

b=3

so the partition is 1/3

`(1)/(3) (17 - 2) + 2 = 7`

So let find the y coordinate

`(1)/(3) (8 - 5) + 5 = 6`

So our y coordinate is 6.
