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.

(2.33, 6.33)

(3.5, 10.5)

(3.66, 7.66)

Okay. 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?

anonymous · Answer

this is how .... you work the x and y parts

or Bx = 5 - 1*3/4  either way gets us to the same place eh

anonymous · Answer

or in this case it seems like we only need to compare the x parts to match an option

anonymous · Answer

So, it would be (4.25, 8.25 )
