Does the line represented by the equation: y=-2x+5 have a positive slope?

Step-by-step explanation:

No, it doesn’t have a positive slope because the negative sign in front 2 means that the slope is negative and going down. If the slope would’ve been positive than there wouldn’t have been a negative sign and it would go up.

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)

1/8 is left? add a bit more info plz
