Question

THIS IS A GEOMETRY QUESTION IFind the coordinates of the point 1/6 of the way from U to V closer to U(-3,7) than V (9,1)

Answer 1

start by obtaing the ratio usind the formula

`r=\frac{\bar{P_1P}}{\bar{PP_2}}=((1)/(6))/((5)/(6))=(1)/(5)`

After having the ratio use the formula

`(x,y)=((x_1+rx_2)/(1+r),(y_1+ry_2)/(1+r))`

replace in the formula tking into account that the coordinates that refers to point 1 is the closer point

`(x,y)=((x_1+rx_2)/(1+r),(y_1+ry_2)/(1+r))`
