Final answer:

To find the x-coordinate of the point that divides the line segment from K to J in a 1:3 ratio, you would use the formula for division of a segment in a ratio, but without the coordinates of K and J, we cannot provide a numerical answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for the x-coordinate of the point that divides the line segment from K to J in a 1:3 ratio. To solve this problem, we would normally use the formula for the point that divides a segment into a ratio, which is (x1 + rx2)/(1 + r) for the x-coordinate, where r is the ratio and x1 and x2 are the x-coordinates of points K and J, respectively. However, without the specific coordinates for K and J, we cannot provide a numerical answer. Typically, the options you provided would be based on given coordinates for K and J, but as no coordinates are supplied in your question, it is not possible to select a correct answer from the options A, B, C, and D. To correctly answer the question, you will need to supply the coordinates for K and J or look at the context of the question in your test or materials to find them.
