Question

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (−4,10) to (-2, -2) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 1? HURRYYYY!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

(-2.5 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

the x- coordinates :

[(3×(-2)) + (1×(-4))] /(3+1)

= (-6 +(-4))/(4)

= -10/4

= -2.5

the y-coordinates :

[(3×(-2)) + (1×10)] / (3+1)

= (-6+10)/(4)

= 4/4

= 1

so, the coordinates are (-2.5 , 1)
