Question

What is the y-coordinate of the point that divides the

Answer 1

Answer:

y-coordinate = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below diagram attached with this question.

Section formula:

If a point divides a line segment in m:n whose end points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$, then the coordinates of that point are

$(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})$

From the below graph it is clear that the coordinates of end points are J(1,-10) and K(7,2). A point divides the line JK is 5:1.

Using section formula, the coordinates of that point are

$(\frac{(5)(7)+(1)(1)}{5+1},\frac{(5)(2)+(1)(-10)}{5+1})$

$(\frac{35+1}{6},\frac{10-10}{6})$

$(\frac{36}{6},\frac{0}{6})$

$(6,0)$

Therefore, the y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to k into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.
