Answer 1

Using the image below, find the y value for the point that divides the line segment CD into a ratio of 4:1.

___________________________

Turn the ratio into a fraction.

4 + 1 = 5

5/1 = 5.

-----------------------

Now find the segment points.
D(5, 1)
C(9, 6)

We're going from C --> D.

The difference in our x terms is: 4
The difference in our y terms is: 5

Now multiply both by 1/5
x = 0.8
y = 1
