Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! A point H on a segment with endpoints B(3, −1) and Z(12, 5) partitions the segment in a 5:1 ratio. Find H. You must show all work to receive credit.

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

this looks hard, but i bet we can do it

Answer 3

i totally dont get it lol

Answer 4

yeah lets think for second and see what we can come up with

Answer 5

u have a formula to find this :)

Answer 6

first off that means we are going to break it in to 6 equal parts, and take 5 of them

Answer 7

the cordinates of point P(x,y) which lies on segment AB with end points A(a,b) and B(c,d) and divides it in the ration m:n

so u have -

x=(mc+na)/(m+n)
and
y=(md+nb)/(m+n)

Answer 8

yeah i don't get that formula
from 3 to 12 is 9 units
one sixth of that is \(\frac{9}{3}=\frac{3}{2}\)
