Point A is at negative 4 and point cap b is at 6 Which describes one way to find the point that divides line segment A B into a ratio of 3 to 2 ratio? Open image in full-screen view

A
For a ratio of ratio of 3 to 2 , divide line segment A B into 3 equal parts. Each equal part is 3 units, so the point that divides line segment A B into a ratio of 3 to 2 ratio is 0 .
B
For a ratio of ratio of 3 to 2 , divide line segment A B into 5 equal parts. Each equal part is 2 units, so the point that divides line segment A B into a ratio of 3 to 2 ratio is 2 .
C
For a ratio of ratio of 3 to 2 , divide line segment A B into 3 equal parts. Each equal part is 3 units, so the point that divides line segment A B into a ratio of 3 to 2 ratio is 3 .
D
For a ratio of ratio of 3 to 2 , divide line segment A B into 5 equal parts. Each equal part is 2 units, so the point that divides line segment A B into a ratio of 3 to 2 ratio is 1 .

If the endpoints of line segment A B are cap A times open paren negative 2 comma 3 close paren and B 1 comma 8 , which shows the correct way to determine the coordinates of point C , the midpoint of line segment A B ?

A
M is equal to the fraction with numerator negative 2 plus 1 and denominator 2 comma the fraction with numerator 3 plus 8 and denominator 2
B
M is equal to the fraction with numerator negative 2 minus 1 and denominator 2 comma the fraction with numerator 3 minus 8 and denominator 2
C
M is equal to the fraction with numerator negative 2 plus 3 and denominator 2 comma the fraction with numerator 1 plus 8 and denominator 2
D
M is equal to the fraction with numerator negative 2 minus 3 and denominator 2 comma the fraction with numerator 1 minus 8 and denominator 2

Which expressions can be used to find the coordinates of the midpoint of line segment P Q with endpoints P 3 comma negative 1 and Q negative 7 comma negative 6 ? Choose three correct answers.

A
the fraction with numerator negative 1 minus 6 and denominator 2 can be used to find the y -coordinate of the point.
B
the fraction with numerator 3 plus 7 and denominator 2 can be used to find the x -coordinate of the point.
C
1 half times open paren negative 6 minus 1 close paren minus 1 can be used to find the y -coordinate of the point.
D
negative 5 halves minus 1 can be used to find the y -coordinate of the point.
E
1 half times open paren negative 7 minus 3 close paren plus 3 can be used to find the x -coordinate of the point.
