The y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.
<h3>How to carry out division of line segments?</h3>
From the attached line segment graph, we see the coordinates as;
J (1, -10) and K (7, 2)
Let us assume that, point L divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1.
From the properties of coordinate geometry we know that, the coordinates of point that divides the line joining (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) in m:n, are;
[(mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)], [(my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)]
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
[(5 * 7 + 1 * 1)/(5 + 1)], [(5 * 2 + 1 * -10)/(5 + 1)]
⇒ (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.
