Answer 1

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS (5,-3) !!!

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST OF ALL, I REMEMBERED THE EQUATION mx2 + nx1 ; my1 + ny2

                                                                                      m+n              m+n                  

THEN,

PUTTING THE VALUES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES....

X1=7 , X2=1 , Y1=-2 AND FINALLY Y2=-5

ALSO,

M=1 AND N=2

SO THEREFORE...

                = (1*1)+(2*7) ; (1*(-5))+(2*(-2))

                        1+2               1+2

                = 1+14 ; (-5)+(-4)

                    3           3

                = 15 ; -9

                    3    3

                = THEREFORE, THE ANSWER IS (5,-3)
