What are the coordinates of point P on the directed line
segment from A to B such that P is the length of the
line segment from A to B?

A. (-29/4 , -3/2)
B. (-13/4 , 1/2)
C. (-11/4 , -1/2)
D. (25/4 , -1/2)

What are the coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from A to B such that P is the length of the line segment from A to B A 294 32 B 134 12 C 114 1 class=

Respuesta :

The coordinate of the point P is (-11/4, -1/2) option (C) is correct because point (-29/4, -3/2) lies on the line.

What is a straight line?

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have a line segment shown in the picture:

From the graph:

Point A( -5, -1) and B(4, 1)

The equation of the line passing through the points:

[tex]\rm (y -1 ) = \dfrac{1+1}{4+5}(x-4)[/tex]

9(y - 1) = 2(x - 4)

The above equation shows the straight-line passing through points A and B.

From the graph point (-11/4, -1/2) lies on the line the coordinate of the point P is (-29/4, -3/2)

Thus, the coordinate of the point P is (-11/4, -1/2) option (C) is correct because point (-29/4, -3/2) lies on the line.
