Answer 7

take a look

Answer 8

i still need help

Answer 9

hmmm so... the point Q partitions the segment AC in a 3:1 ratio

hmm what does the 3:1 ratio mean?

Answer 10

in the middle of a and c

Answer 11

hmm what does 3:1 mean?

Answer 12

i think 3/4

Answer 13

hmm what do you mean 3/4?

Answer 14

tbh idkwat 3:1 mean

Answer 15

do u know

Answer 18

can you help me with this ^^^^^^

Answer 19

well hmmm
if you have 1 tomato, and you sister has 2 tomatoes
and for every tomato I give you, I give your sister 2 tomatoes

so you have 2, she gets 4
you have 3, she gets 6
you have 4, she gets 8
and so on

so... what do you think is the "ratio" of her tomatoes to yours?

Answer 20

hers 2:1

Answer 21

@jdoe0001

Answer 22

yeap.... 2:1 two to 1, for every one for you, she gets 2
thus

3:1 means, for every 3 for one side, the other side gets 1

so, there are really 4 sides then
and point Q is closer to one of the endpoints by 1/4 and 3/4 away from the other

Answer 23

ookay is that the answer

Answer 24

so that means the segment AC gets split in 4 parts then, to get a 3:1 ratio

now is it from A to C or C to A
well, judging from the wording
I'd think is from A to C

so the segment AC gets partition in 4 parts, and from A to C is on a 3:1 ratio

Answer 25

notice, 4 parts
AQ takes 3
QC takes 1
3 to 1, from A to C
or 3:1 ratio

Answer 26

so there's where Q is at
now... what's that point
well....

Answer 27

so what the answer @jdoe0001

Answer 28

hmm nope

Answer 29

its 5,3

Answer 30

so, keeping that in mind


hmm 5,3? how did you get it anyway?

Answer 31

i saw C was 4,2 so i thought 5,3

Answer 32

hmm well... keeping the above in mind
gimme a sec

Answer 33

ok

Answer 34

are u trying solve it

Answer 35

actually, should be 2,-1

yes, gimme one sec

Answer 36

hmmm hold the mayo.. for a sec.. I think I got the points... backwards

Answer 37

shoot

Answer 38

3:1 means 3/4 and 1/4 of the total length. To go 3/4 from A to C: find the difference in x and go 3/4 toward C (3/4)(4-2) = 1.5, so use x'=2+1.5 = 3.5 find the difference in y and go 3/4 toward C. you do this one. y' = ??? point will then be (x', y')

Answer 39

ok

Answer 40

anyhow, gimme one sec
