Answer:
Point (1,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use segment formula to find the coordinates of point that will partition our line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.
When a point divides any segment internally in the ratio m:n, the formula is:
![[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D%5Cfrac%7Bmx_2%2Bnx_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%2Cy%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bmy_2%2Bny_1%7D%7Bm%2Bn%7D%5D)
Let us substitute coordinates of point P and Q as:
,
![[x=\frac{(3*4)+(1*-8)}{3+1},y=\frac{(3*12)+(1*-4)}{3+1}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D%5Cfrac%7B%283%2A4%29%2B%281%2A-8%29%7D%7B3%2B1%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B%283%2A12%29%2B%281%2A-4%29%7D%7B3%2B1%7D%5D)
![[x=\frac{12-8}{4},y=\frac{36-4}{4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D%5Cfrac%7B12-8%7D%7B4%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B36-4%7D%7B4%7D%5D)
![[x=\frac{4}{4},y=\frac{32}{4}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B4%7D%2Cy%3D%5Cfrac%7B32%7D%7B4%7D%5D)
![[x=1,y=8]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%3D1%2Cy%3D8%5D)
Therefore, point (1,8) will partition the directed line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.
I think But I'm not 100% sure yet it's a guess
Y=3+x
Root: (-3, 0)
Intercept:(0, 3)
So in order to find line AC you must find line AD and DC then plus them together.
to find AD use Pythagoras theorem
a^2 = c^2 - b^2
AD^2 = 7.5^2 - 6.5^2
AD^2 = 56.25 - 42.25
AD^2 = 14
square root both sides to get rid of the ^2
AD ≈ 3.7 or 3.74
Do the same for DC
DC^2 = 10^2 - 6.5^2
DC^2 = 100 - 42.25
DC^2 = 57.75
DC ≈ 7.6
now plus AD and DC which should give u 11.3
The answer is 960 ÷ 4 = 240. I hope this helps
