Answer 1

Use the given formula:

`x=((m)/(m+n))(x_2-x_1)+x_1`

Being m: 2 and n: 5

x1: -6

x2: 8

`\begin{gathered} x=((2)/(2+5))(8-(-6))+(-6) \\ \\ x=(2)/(7)*(14)-6 \\ \\ x=4-6 \\ \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`Then, the x-coordinate of th point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio 2:5 is -2Answer: -2
