Answer:

The correct option is B

The coordinates of point G is (4.5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point G is drawn so that the ratio of FG to GH is 5 to 1

The are 12 grids between F and H

The share ratio is 5 to 1,

5 + 1 = 6

Divide 12 by 6

12/6 = 2

The point G is 2 grids down from point H

This would be in the coordinate (4.5, 5)
