Question

What is coordinates of point C?

Answer 1

(3,6)

Explanation:

Using the midpoint segment formula

M(X, Y) = [(ax1+bx2/2, ay1+by2/2)]

Given (-2 -6) and (4,6) divided in the ratio 1:5

X = 1(-2) + 5(4)/1+5

X = -2+20/6

X = 18/6

X = 3

Similarly

Y = 1(-6)+ 5(6)/1+5

Y = -6+30/6

Y = 24/6

Y = 4

Hence the required coordinate of C is (3,6)
