Answer:
the y coordinate is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the directed line segment is shown.
J is located at (-3, 1) and K is located at (-8, 11)
run: x2 -x1 = -8 - (-3) = -5
rise: y2 - y1 = 11 - 1 = 10
Taking J as reference, the coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to k into a ratio of 2:3 is:
c = 2/(2+3) = 0.4
(x1 + c*run, y1 + c*rise)
(-3 + 0.4*-5, 1+0.4*10)
(-5, 5)
