Question

What are the x- and y- coordinates of point E, which partitions the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 1:4?

Answer 1

The x- and y- coordinates of point E, which partitions the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 1:4 is (17, 11)

Midpoint of coordinate points

The midpoint of a line is the point that bisects or divides the line into two equal parts

If the line JK is partitioned into the ratio 1:4 with the following coordinates

J(-15, -5) and K(25, 15)

Using the expression below;

M(x, y) =[mx1+nx2/m+n, my1+ny2/m+n]

Substitute the ratio and the coordinates

M(x, y) =[1(-15)+4(25)/4+1, 1(-5)+4(15)/1+4]

M(x, y) = [(85)/5, 55/5]

M(x, y) = (17, 11)

Hence the x- and y- coordinates of point E, which partitions the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 1:4 is ((17, 11)
