Question

on a number line, the directed line segment from Q to S has endpoints at -2 and S at 6. point R partitions the directed line segment from Q to S in the 3:2 ratio. rachel use the section formula to find the location of point R on the number line. her work is shown below. let m = 3, n = 2, x1 =-2, and x2 = 6. what is the location of point R on the number line?

Answer 1

[3/3+5](2-(-14))+(-14)

Explanation:

3:5 Ratio means that the m/m+n would be 3/3+5.

Then X2 is 2 and X1 is -14.

X2-X1 is 2-(-14)
