Using proportions, the coordinates of point R are given as follows: R(1.2, 0.4).
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Segments pr and pq are partitioned in the ratio 3:2, hence:
[tex]PR = \frac{3}{5}PQ[/tex]
[tex]R - P = \frac{3}{5}(Q - P)[/tex]
The points are:
- R(x,y).
- P(6,-5).
- Q(-2,4).
For the x-coordinate, we have that:
[tex]R - P = \frac{3}{5}(Q - P)[/tex]
[tex]x - 6 = \frac{3}{5}(-2 - 6)[/tex]
x - 6 = -4.8
x = 1.2.
For the y-coordinate, we have that:
[tex]R - P = \frac{3}{5}(Q - P)[/tex]
[tex]y + 5 = \frac{3}{5}(4 + 5)[/tex]
y + 5 = 5.4.
y = 0.4.
The coordinates are: R(1.2, 0.4).
