Question

A segment with endpoints F (4,9) and G (7,2) is divided by point H such that FH and GH form a 1:3 ratio. Find the y value for H.

a) 6.75
b) 7.25
c) 8.25
d) 5.75

Answer 1

a

Answer 2

cab I have a medal it helps

Answer 3

Still looking for additional answers

Answer 4

solve it by using ratio formula
y = (k2y1+k1y2)/ki+k2

where k1=1 & k2=3 & y1=9 & y2=2

Answer 5

I got -14.5...@israr000 is that correct?

Answer 6

well i have solved it & got b option i.e. 7.25

Answer 7

This is actually pretty easy. If the ratio is 1:3, then the coordinate is 1/4 of the line from F. You can find the midpoint of the line, which is (5.5,5.5). Then, find the midpoint of F and your midpoint. You get (4.75, 3.75). So, your y coordinate for H should be 3.75.

Answer 8

[3(9)+1(2)]/1+3

Answer 9

solve this u will get 7.25 i.e. b option...
