Question

A point M on a segment with endpoints X (1, −2) and Y (10, 3) partitions the segment in a 4:1 ratio. Find M.

Answer 1

Answer 2

divide the segments into 5 parts

Answer 3

Y (10, 3)
- X (1, −2)
----------
9 , 5 seems to be a length of sqrt(81+25)

Answer 4

or if we just divide the vector parts by 5

9/5, 1 is the vector equivalent of 1/5 of the segment scale by 4 we get:

36/5, 4 added to X should give M
