On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point A to point B. Point A is at (negative 4, 8) and point B is at (2, negative 4). What are the x- and y-coordinates of point C, which partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:10? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. X = y =.

MrRoyal

The x and y coordinates of point C are -2.6 and 5.2, respectively

The coordinate of the points are given as:

[tex]A = (-4,8)[/tex]

[tex]B =(2,-4)[/tex]

The ratio is given as:

[tex]m :n = 3 : 10[/tex]

The point at the given ratio is calculated as:

[tex]C = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]C = (\frac{3 \times 2 + 10 \times -4}{3+10},\frac{3 \times -4 +10 \times 8}{3+10})[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]C = (\frac{-34}{13},\frac{68}{13})[/tex]

[tex]C = (-2.6,5.2)[/tex]

Hence, the x and y coordinates of point C are -2.6 and 5.2, respectively
