Question

A point T on a segment with endpoints D(1, 4) and F(7, 1) partitions the segment in a 2:1 ratio. Find T. You must show all work to receive credit

Answer 1

(x,y) = (xsub1 + k(xsub2-xsub1), ysub1 + k(ysub2-ysub1))

where k is 2/3

Answer 2

(x,y) = ( 1 + (2/3)(7-1), 4 + 4(1-4))

Answer 3

(x,y) = (5,2) should be (2/3)(1-4) above
