Question

Using the image below, find the y value for the point that divides the line segment XY into a ratio of 1:2.

Answer 1

you are suppose to find the midpoint basically
or more importantly just the y of the midpoint
to find the midpoint from (a,b) to (c,d)
you just do ((a+c)/2,(b+d)/2)
and the x-coordinate of the midpoint is then (a+c)/2
and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is (b+d)/2

Answer 2

so what is the y coordinate of the X point and the Y point?

Answer 3

x=-6,-1 and the y=5,1

Answer 4

@myininaya

Answer 5

what is the y coordinates of X and Y?

Answer 6

And I think you mean X=(-6,-1) and Y=(5,1)

Answer 7

yeah the x axis is the line in the middle correct?

Answer 8

can you tell me the y-coordinates of X and Y

Answer 9

and yes x-axis is in the middle so that means y is ?

Answer 10

its -1 , 1

Answer 11

@myininaya

Answer 12

ok to find the y-coordinate of the midpoint (add your y's) then divide the sum by 2

Answer 13

so it will be -1+1 divied by 2

Answer 14

(-1+1)/2

Answer 15

my bad for late reply internet was down but it is 0 @myininaya

Answer 16

yep
and you said it looked like the middle was the x-axis
and all the y values on the x-axis are 0 since the x-axis is the equation y=0

Answer 17

−0.7

−2.3

−0.3

−0.2

Answer 18

what is this?
