Answer:
We also drew a graph with 2 examples.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have the line segment CD, we can divide it by 4: 1 as follows:
If point C has the coordinates (x1, z1) and point D has the coordinates (x2, z2), we calculate coordinate the points Y as follows:
y1 = (x2-x1) · 4/5
y2 = (z2-z1) · 4/5
In this way we have obtained the point Y with the coordinates (y1, y2), and the point Y divides the line segment CD by 4:1.
