Answer 5

ok.... look st the point D has a y value y = 1

and the point C has a y value of 6

so you are dividing the distance (6 -1) in the ratio of 4:1

so you can use the unitary method

distance is 5 units

and there are 5 parts to the ratio.... (4 +1 =5)

so each part of the ratio is 1 unit...

so count down 4 units from the c value...

or 6 - 4 = 2

so the y value for the point is y = 2
