Question

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-6, -6)(−6,−6) to (-4, 10)(−4,10) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 1 to 3?

Answer 1

Answer: (-28/3 , -2/3)

Step-by-step explanation: Given the

coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (−6,−6) to (-4, 10)

(X2 -X1) , (Y2 - Y1)

(-4-6) , (10- - 6)

-10, 16

To partitions the segment into a ratio of 1 to 3?

-10×1/3 , 16×1/3

-10/3 , 16/3

The answer will be

(- 6 - 10/3) , (-6 +16/3)

(-28/3 , -2/3)
