Question

Points A , B , and C are collinear and AB : AC = 3 : 5. Point A is located at (2, 4), point B is located at ( x, 4), and point C is located at (12, 4).

What is the value of the x coordinate of point B ?

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

`xp = 2 + (3)/(5) (12 - 2)`

I did 12 -2 which equals 10

10 times 3/5 equals 6

6 plus 2 equals 8
