A segment with endpoints A (2, 6) and C (5, 9) is partitioned by a point B such that AB and BC form a 3:1 ratio. Find B.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wold you agree that a 3:1 ratio divides the interval into 4 parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then thats all we have to do ... the interval of the x parts is 2 to 5, giving us a distance of 3. 3/4 = 1 part so 3*3/4 = 3 parts, agreed?
