Respuesta :

Answer:  D

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the ratio into the formula, so 2/2+3=2/5

Eliminate the first 2 options

Find the difference between x2 and x1

Find x2 and x1 by using the x-coordinates of the given points

I will use x1 as point a's x-value

x1=-3  

x2=2  

Altogether, you'll derive:

[tex](\frac{2}{5} )(2+3) -3[/tex]

This matches D.

C won't work because although C and D will work with x1 and x2, C doesn't split it into a 2:3 ratio.
