Answer:
The value of point x is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that LM has the endpoints L at –5 and M at 9.
The point x divides the directed line segment LM in a 2:3 ratio.
The given formula is
[tex]x=\frac{m}{m+n}(x_2-x_1)+x_1[/tex]
Using above formula we get
[tex]x=\frac{2}{2+3}(9-(-5))+(-5)[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{5}(9+5)-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{5}(14)-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{28}{5}-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{28-25}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Therefore the value of point x is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex].
