Answer:

(-2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you want a 1 to 7 ratio, you want to divide the line into 2 parts, where one part has a length of 1 and the other has a length of 7. So the total length of the line is 8.

Start by looking at the difference in the X and Y coordinates.

X = | -4 - 12 | = | -16 | = 16

Y = | 7 - -1 | = | 8 | = 8

You could calculate the length of the line using pythagorian's theorem, but that's not needed. Simply use similar triangles. We have a right triangle with legs of length 16 and length 8. We want a similar triangle that is 1/8th as large (to get the desired 1 to 7 ratio). So divide both legs by 8, getting lengths of 16/8 = 2, and 8/8 = 1.

Now add those calculated offsets to point A.

A has an X coordinate of -4 and B has an X coordinate of 12 and the X coordinate for C must be between those limits. So calculate -4 + 2 = -2 to get the X coordinate for C.

The Y coordinate of A is 7 and the Y coordinate of B is -1. And since the Y coordinate must be between then, you have 7 - 1 = 6.

So the coordinates for C is (-2, 6)

Find two numbers if their sum is 6.1 and their difference is 1.6
Nimfa-mama [501]
A+b=6.1 ---(1)
a-b=1.6 ---(2)

(1)+(2); 2a=7.7
then a=3.85
so b=a-1.6 = 3.85-1.6 = 2.25

so that the two numbers are 2.25 and 3.85
