Question

VW is divided by point U such that VU:UW is 3:1. Graph U.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we state the coordinates of VW.

V = (1, 5)

W = (13, 14)

The ratio = 3:1

We would apply a formula to do the partition:

`(x,\text{ y) = (}\frac{mc\text{ + na}}{m\text{ + n}},\text{ }\frac{md+nb}{m\text{ + n}})`

m:n = 3:1

m = 3, n = 1

(a, b) = (1, 5)

(c, d) = 13, 14)

Inserting the above into the formula:

`(x,\text{ y) = (}(3(13)+1(1))/(3+1),\text{ }(3(14)+1(5))/(3+1))`
