The value of (x,y) is (1.2 , -4.7) , Option D is the right answer.
The complete question is
On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point a to point b. point a is at (7, negative 2) and point b is at (negative 8, negative 9). what are the x- and y-coordinates of point c, which partitions the directed line segment from a to b into the ratio 5:8? round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. x = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (x 2 minus x 1) x 1 y = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (y 2 minus y 1) y 1 (–2.2, –6.3) (–2.4, –6.4) (2.7, –0.7) (1.2, –4.7)
<h3>What are Coordinates ?</h3>Coordinates are the location of a point in an (x,y) plot.
The given data is
Coordinates of
A = (7,-2)
B = (-8,-9)
m:n = 5:8
The coordinates of partition has to be determined
The formula used is
(x,y ) = (1.2 , -4.7)
Therefore Option D is the correct answer.
