Question

The location of point J is (8,-6). The location of point L is (-2,9). Determine the location of point K which is 1/5 of the way from J to L

Answer 1

what he said

Explanation:

Answer 2

(6 , -3)

Explanation:

Given in the question,

point J(8,-6)

x1 = 8

y1 = -6

point L(-2,9)

x2 = -2

y2 = 9

Location of point K which is 1/5 of the way from J to L

which means ratio of point K from J to L is 1 : 4

a : b

1 : 4

xk =
`x1+(a)/(a+b)(x2-x1)`

yk =
`y1+(a)/(a+b)(y2-y1)`

Plug values in the equation

xk = 8 + (1)/(1+4) (-2-8)

xk = 6

yk = -6 (1)/(1+4)(9+6)

yk = -3
