What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-5, -4) to (9,8) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 1?

It's probably because the earth is actually tilted and is not straight when orbiting the sun. that's why when it's winter here, it's summer in the southern hemisphere. in the wintertime in the northern hemisphere, it's colder here because it's tilted away from the sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted closer to the sun (i believe this is the case anyways)

b

because the standard of living varies from region to region

)/2. )/2

4/2=2
14/2=7

i think the midpoint is 2,7
