What is the x-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from j to k into a ratio of 2: 5?

The given end points of the line of the given graph are J(-6,-2) and K( 8,-9).

We need to find the coordinate of x that divide the line segment from J to K in 2:5 ratio.

We are given formula also.

We have m = 2, n= 5, x1 = -6 and x2 = 8.

Plugging those values of m, n, x1 and x2 in above formula, we get

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
