Given the points H(6,7) and I(-7,-6).
If point G lies of the way along line segment HI.
Therefore, we can say that the point G divides the line segment HI in the ratio 1:1.
So, by using the cross section formula we can determine the coordinates of point G.
For the given points say and
divided is in the ratio
, the coordinates are
Coordinates G =
= (-0.5 , 0.5)
Hence, the coordinates of G are (-0.5 , 0.5).
So, Santiago argues that point G is located at the origin. The point G is located at (-0.5, 0.5). Therefore, he is not correct.
