Answer:
The ratio where point Z partitioned segment XY is 1 to 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the coordinates X(0, 0), Y(6, 3) and Z(1.5, 0.75).
We want to find the ratio where point Z partitioned segment XY
On x-coordinate:
6 - 0 = 6
We then find a, such that
6/a = 1.5
a = 6/1.5 = 4
On y-coordinate:
3 - 0 = 3
We then find b, such that
3/b = 0.75
b = 3/0.75 = 4
We are at 1/4 in the x and the y coordinates of the segment XY
Therefore, so we are at 1/4 its length counting from (0,0)
