Question

Let point P be (3, 5) and Q be (8, -3). Let T be the point on segment PQ such that PT:TQ = 1:2. Find

the coordinates of point T, and explain why this point T must be the point on segment PQ such
that PT:TQ = 1:2

Answer 1

Answer: (3/14, 3/7) Step-by-step explanation: 8-3-5, and 5/3+3=14/3. 5--3-8, and 8/3+5=7/3. This has a ratio of 1:2 because the length is divided into three and 1 is separate from the other two

Answer 2

(14/3, 7/3)

Explanation:

8-3=5, and 5/3+3=14/3.

5--3=8, and 8/3+5=7/3.

This has a ratio of 1:2 because the length is divided into three and 1 is separate from the other two.
