What is the x-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:5? X = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 –4 –2 2 4

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a segment C(x, y) that divides the line segment AB with endpoints A() and B() in the ratio m:n is:

A point (x, y) divides the directed line segment from J(-6, -2) to K(8, -9) into a ratio of 2:5. Hence:

Also:

The point is (-2, -4)

step-by-step explanation:

mean or average is 40.6
