The coordinates of point B that divides the line in the ratio 1:3 is: ( C )(3.25, 2.75)

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment is formed by joining two points by a straight line.

Analysis:

The coordinates of point B(x,y) are gotten by the formula

x = \frac{px2 + qx1}{p+q}

y = \frac{py2 + qy1}{p + q}

where, x1 and y1 are coordinates of A and x2 and y2 are coordinates of B

are the values of the ratio p:q.

x1 = 4, x2 = 1 y1 = 5,  y2 = 2, p = 1, q = 3

x = \frac{(1 x 1) + (3 x 4)}{1 + 3} = 3.25

y = \frac{(1 x 5) + ( 3 x 2)}{1+3} = 2.75

coordinates of B are ( 3.25, 2.75)

In conclusion, the coordinates of point B are (3.25, 2.75)

Hunter is going to graph the ordered pairs that are represented by this table on a coordinate plane.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x is 0, the point will lie on the x-axis, so we need to find how many times this happens.

There's only 1 0, so the answer is 1.
