What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (1,−6) to (8,8) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 4 to 3?

Respuesta :

The coordinate of the point  on the directed line segment that partitions the segment into a ratio of 4 to 3 is (29/7,50/7)

How to determine the coordinate at the partition?

The given parameters are:

A = (-1,6)

B = (8,8)

Ratio, m : n = 4 : 3

The coordinate at the partition is calculated using:

[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n} * (mx_2 + nx_1,my_2 + ny_1)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{4 + 3} * (4 * 8 + 3 * -1,4 *8 + 3 * 6)[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{7} * (29,50)[/tex]

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (29/7,50/7)

Hence, the coordinate of the point is (29/7,50/7)
