You just cross multiply and then simplify
The answer is (-6, 5) for K.
In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.
(Kx + Lx)/2 = Mx
(Kx + 8)/2 = 1
Kx + 8 = 2
Kx = -6
And now we do the same thing for y values
(Ky + Ly)/2 = My
(Ky + -7)/2 = -1
Ky + -7 = -2
Ky = 5
This gives us the final point of (-6, 5)
X=11ft
25-6=14
So ur answer is actually 3
A₅ = 1/16 and r= 1/4
Let see how to build up this formula that is going to give that term of rank n
1st term =a₁ = To be calculated
1st a₁ = a₁ x r°
2nd a₂ = a₁ x r¹
3rd a₃ = a₁ x r²
4th a₄ = a₁ x r³
5th a₅ = a₁ x r⁴
.......................
.......................
nth : a(n) = a₁ x r⁽ⁿ-¹)
Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1
We know the ratio r =1/4 & the fifth term, a₅ =1/16 (given). Now let's apply the formula to calculate the unknown a₁.
a(n) = a₁ x r⁽ⁿ-¹) ==>a₅ = a₁ x (1/4)⁽⁵⁺¹⁾ ===> 1/16 = a₁ x (1/4)⁴
1/167 = a₁ (1/256) ==> a₁ =16 & the formula becomes
a₅ = 16(1/4)⁴
