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 =

Respuesta :

The x- and y-coordinates of point C, which partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:10 is; (-2.6, 5.2)

How to find coordinate points?

The coordinate of the points are given as:

A(-4, 8)

B(2, -4)

Ratio of partition is given as; 3:10

Now, the point at the given ratio is calculated from the formula;

C = [(mx2 + nx1)/(m + n)], [(my2 + ny1)/(m + n)]

Thus;

C = [(3*2 + 10*-4)/(3 + 10)], [(3*-4 + 10*8)/(3 + 2)]

C = (-34/13, 68/13)

C = (-2.6, 5.2)
