Question

HURRY I HAVE 30 MINUTES What are the x and y coordinates of point E, which partitions the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 1:4?

Answer 1

(-7, -1)

Explanation:

The ratio is 1:4, the total is 1 + 5 = 5, so the partition is at 1/5 of the total length.

x2 - x1 = 25 - (-15) = 40

1/5 * 40 = 8

-15 + 8 = -7

x = -7

y2 - y1 = 15 - (-5) = 20

1/5 * 20 = 4

-5 + 4 = -1

y = -1

Answer: (-7, 1)
