Step 1

<u>Find the distance KJ in the x-coordinate</u>

we know that

the distance between two points with only one coordinate is equal to

d=\left|x_2-x_1\right|

substitute the values

d=\left|9-1\right|=8\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the x-coordinate of the point  that divides the directed line segment from K to J into a ratio of 1:3</u>

we know that

the ratio is 1:3

so

1+3=4

Divided the distance  KJ in the x-coordinate by 4

8/4=2\ units

Adds the x-coordinate of J to  3 times  2\ units

1+3*(2)=7\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

7\ units

Since we need a point that divides K-->J into two segments in a 1:3 ratio, let's flip it to a 3:1 ratio in the J-->K direction. That means that this point is 3/(3+1) = 3/4 of the way up line JK.
Let's take 3/4 of the x of K (plus the 1 for the x of J):
3/4×(9 - 1) + 1 (because the beginning ofvthe line, at J, has an x of 1)...
3/4×(8) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
Therefore the answer is C) 7

Why is it important to reduce radicals
OleMash [197]
Simplifying radical expressions expression is important before addition or subtraction because it you need to which like terms can be added or subtracted. If we hadn't simplified the radical expressions, we would not have come to this solution. In a way, this is similar to what would be done for polynomial expression.
