Achoreographer uses a number line to position dancers for a ballet. dancers a and b have coordinates 5 and 23, respectively. find the coordinate for the following dancer based on the given location.

dancer e stands at a point that divides the line segment from dancer a to dancer b in a ratio of 2 to 1.

dancer e is
units from dancer a, so the coordinate for dancer e is
.

Dancer E is 12 units from Dancer A, so the coordinate for Dancer E is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from Dancer A to Dancer B.

AB = 23 - 5 = 18 units

Distance from Dancer A to Dancer E.

Dancer E is 12 units from Dancer A, so the coordinate for Dancer E is 5 + 12 = 17.

the answers c

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
