Answer: ( 12 , 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the coordinate of points when a line is externally divided in a given ratio is given by :
x = [tex]\frac{p x_{2}+q x_{1}}{p+q}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{p y_{2}+q y_{1}}{p+q}[/tex]
From the question
[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = 2
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = ?
x = 4
[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = -1
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = ?
y = 1
p = 1
q = 4
substituting the values into the formula ,we have
x = [tex]\frac{p x_{2}+q x_{1}}{p+q}[/tex]
4 = [tex]\frac{1(x_{2})+4(2) }{1+4}[/tex]
4 = [tex]\frac{x_{2}+8}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] + 8 = 20
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 12
Also
y = [tex]\frac{p y_{2}+q y_{1}}{p+q}[/tex]
1 = [tex]\frac{y_{2}+4(-1)}{5}[/tex]
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] - 4 = 5
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = 9
Therefore , the end of the stencil is located at point ( 12 , 9 )
