what is the y-value of the point that partitions the directed line segment ba into a 3: 2 ratio?

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (2, 1) would partition the line segment BA into a 3:2 ratio. When partitioning a line segment, you must start from the first point B and make your way towards A. Since there is 9 spaces between B and A, you can count 3 from B, then 2 from A, 3 from B, then 2 more from A to get your point that partitions the directed line segment.

~Hope this helps!~

(Also I would like to add that the method used in this problem may not always be able to solve similar problems that may require a different approach.)

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
