Segment CD is shown on the graph. Which shows how to find the y-coordinate of the point that will divide CD into a 5:2 ratio using the formula y = (y2 – y1) + y1? y = (3 – 1) + 1 y = (3 + 4) – 4 y = (3 – 1) + 1 y = (3 + 4) – 4

Options are not clear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The y coordinate

When a line is divided into segments, by ratios.

The formula is:

By comparison:

Where:

So, we have:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
