Find the x value for the point that divides the line segment AB into a ratio of 2:3.
A) −1
B) −0.4
C) 0
D) 0.5

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
find difference between the x values of points A and B
5-(-4)=5+4=9
divide 9 by 5, since to get ratio 2:3 we need 2+3 segments
9/5=1.8
1.8*2
3.6
-4+3.6=-0.4
So answer is B
Answer:
Answer: x value is -0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
So theres a total of 5 pieces to segment AB.
Another way to look at 2:3 is as a fraction 2/5
-Look at the x coordinates
A(-4,6) B(5,1)
-4 to 5 = a distance of 9
-multiply 2/5 × 9 = 3.6
-Look at y coordinates
A(-4,6) B(5,1)
-1 to 6 = distance of 5
-multiply 2/5 × 5 = 2
.Shift both coordinates with theyre corresponding #
. x axis: -4 + 3.6 = -0.4
.y axis: 6+ 2= 8
X value = -0.4
Hope this helped
I would really appreciate if marked brainlest
Thank you!
