given line segment jl with j(8 -8) and l(-16 -2) find the coordinates of K if K divides line segment JL two-thirds of the way fr
om J to L
1 answer:
Answer:
- (-8, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>- Line segment JL with J(8, -8) and L(-16, -2)
- Coordinates of K if K divides JL two-thirds from J
- JK = 2/3JL
<u>Coordinates of K</u>
- x = 8 + 2/3(-16 - 8) = 8 + 2/3(-24) = 8 - 16 = - 8
- y = -8 + 2/3(-2 - (-8)) = -8 + 2/3(6) = -8 + 4 = - 4
- K = (-8, -4)
