Answer:
(-9.5, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio a:b (a to b) of two segments formed by a point of partition, and the endpoints of the original segment, we can calculate the point of partition using this formula:
.
Given two endpoints of the original segment
→ (-10, -8) [(x₁, y₁)] and (-8, 8) [(x₂, y₂)]
Along with the ratio of the two partitioned segments
→ 1 to 3 = 1:3 [a:b]
Formed by the point that partitions the original segment to create the two partitioned ones
→ (x?, y?)
We can apply this formula and understand how it was derived to figure out where the point of partition is.
Here is the substitution:
x₁ = -10
y₁ = -8
x₂ = -8
y₂ = 8
a = 1
b = 3
