Question

Points X(6,4) and Y(-4,-6) are the endpoints of XY. What are the coordinates of point Z on XY such that XZ is 4/5 the length of XY

Answer 1

(-2, -4)

Explanation:

Z_x = (Y_x - X_x) * (4/5) = (-4 - 6) * (4/5) = -8

Z_y = (Y_y - X_y) * (4/5) = (-6 - 4) * (4/5) = -8

-8 + 6 = -2

-8 + 4 = -4
