Answer 3

@ganeshie8 here is the post question

Answer 4

@ganeshie8 will you please help me with this question

Answer 5

hey still here @sksxs3

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

look at the given line segment, you want to find a point on it that splits the segment in 3:1 ratio

Answer 8

ok
so how do i do that

Answer 9

how far are the points horizontally ?

Answer 10

just count he grids horizontally

Answer 11

7 spaces

Answer 12

Yes, so we want the point to be at 3/4*7 away from J horizontally

3/4*7 = ?

Answer 13

can i turn 3/4 into a decimal then multiple it by 7 or will that be to complicated

Answer 14

Exactly! just do that.

Answer 15

I did 0.75 x 7= 5.25

Answer 16

add -3 to that

Answer 17

5.25 - 3 = ?

Answer 18

2.25

Answer 19

Yes, thats the x coordinate of required point.
look at options

Answer 20

so the answer is C because thats the only one with 2.25 in it

Answer 21

Quick question if you don't mind me asking…
do you think you could quickly show me how to find the y coordinate because I am not the best with ratios and I would really appreciate it if you showed me how?!!
thanks @ganeshie8

Answer 22

sure :) how far are the points J and K vertically ?

Answer 23

oh sorry i didn't see u respond
its 6 spaces

Answer 24

Yes, so you want the point to be 3/4*6 away from J

3/4*6 = ?

Answer 25

4.5

Answer 26

then don't you subtract 3 from that or no

Answer 27

subtract that from y coordinate of J : 4

4-4.5 = ?

Answer 28

oh ok

Answer 29

-0.5
