Point a is located at (5, 6) and point b is located at (8, −2) . what are the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment ab¯¯¯¯¯ in a 1: 3 ratio?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the point that partitions in a 1:3 ratio, we use:

Where is the ration of partitions, in this case.

Now, we replace all values:

So, the horizontal coordinate is 6.

The vertical coordinate is 3.33.

Therefore, the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment AB in a 1:3 ratio is

answer:

a=9

step-by-step explanation: lmk if you need a explanation

see below

step-by-step explanation:

x+2> 6

subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 > 6-2

x > 4

there is an open circle at 4 since is it is greater than and the line goes to the right
