Question

The endpoints of FG are F(3.75,9) and G (2,-12).

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that:

• The coordinates of point E are (3,0).

• The coordinates of point H are (3.45, 5.4).

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Point E divides FG in the ratio 3:4, hence:

$E - F = \frac{3}{7}(G - F)$

This is used to find both the x and y coordinates.

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

$E - F = \frac{3}{7}(G - F)$

$x - 3.75 = \frac{3}{7}(2 - 3.75)$

x - 3.75 = -0.75.

x = 3.

For the y-coordinate:

$E - F = \frac{3}{7}(G - F)$

$y - 9 = \frac{3}{7}(-12 - 9)$

y - 9 = -9

y = 0.

The coordinates of point E are (3,0).

Point H divides FE in the ratio 2:3, hence:

$H - F = \frac{2}{5}(E - F)$

This is used to find both the x and y coordinates.

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

$H - F = \frac{2}{5}(E - F)$

$x - 3.75 = \frac{2}{5}(3 - 3.75)$

x - 3.75 = -0.3.

x = 3.45.

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

$H - F = \frac{2}{5}(E - F)$

$y - 9 = \frac{2}{5}(0 - 9)$

y - 9 = -3.6

y = 5.4.

The coordinates of point H are (3.45,5.4).
