Point AAA is at {(-6,-5)}(−6,−5)left parenthesis, minus, 6, comma, minus, 5, right parenthesis and point CCC is at {(4,0)}(4,0)left parenthesis, 4, comma, 0, right parenthesis. Find the coordinates of point BBB on \overline{AC} AC start overline, A, C, end overline such that the ratio of ABABA, B to BCBCB, C is 2:32:32, colon, 3. B=\large(

Answer 1

the answer is (-2,-3)

Explanation:

i got it right

Answer 2

(0, 2)

Explanation:

Given the following

coordinate A (-6, 5)

Coordinate C (4, 0)

Ratio is 2:3

Required

Coordinate of B

Using the midpoint formula expressed as;

M(X,Y) = [(ax1+bx2/a+b), ay1+by2/a+b]

x1 = -6, y1 = 5, x2 = 4 and y2 = 0

a = 2 b = 3

Get X;

X = ax1+bx2/a+b

X = 2(-6)+3(4)/2+3

X = -12+12/5

X = 0/5

X = 0

Get Y;

Y = ay1+by2/a+b

Y= 2(5)+3(0)/2+3

Y = 10/5

Y = 2

Hence the coordinate of B is at (0, 2)
