OpenStudy (supermanofsuper):

Do youhave graph paper?

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

nope....

hartnn (hartnn):

Know the mid-point formula?

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

Nope i do not.

hartnn (hartnn):

The co-ordinates of midpoint(x,y) on the line segment with end-points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is just the average of co-ordinates, given by : \(\large x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\) \(\large y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)

hartnn (hartnn):

Hint: E is the mid-point of A and B. so with the given formula, can you try to find point E ?

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

do i need to substitute?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, x1, y1 = -3,-1 x2,y2 = 6,-3

OpenStudy (supermanofsuper):

g is 0,-3 because the lines cordinate to numbers f is i think -2.5,4 or 4,-2.5 cordinating to thedashes/lines on the triangle

hartnn (hartnn):

so? what did you get the co-ordinates of E as?

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

Hold on hahhaaa.

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

is it (0,-2.5)? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

how did you get that? and NO

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

i substituted the x1 y1 and x2 y2 INTO THE EQUATION...

hartnn (hartnn):

x = (-6+3)/2 = .. y = (-1 + (-3))/2 = ..

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

(1.5,1)?

hartnn (hartnn):

6-3 = 3 so, x = 3/2 -1-3 = -4 so y = -2 E = (3/2 , -2)

hartnn (hartnn):

now F, it is the mid-point of E and B so now x1,y1 = 3/2, -2 x2,y2 = 6,-3 use the same formula!

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

okay hahaa lemme try again

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

Okay so im obviously doing something wrong, I got (3.75,-2.5)

hartnn (hartnn):

6+3/2 = 15/2 so x = 15/4 -2-3 = -5 so y = -5/2 F = -5,-5/2

hartnn (hartnn):

oops, F = 15/4, -5/2

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

Okay so what now?

hartnn (hartnn):

you already got E and F thats what you wanted

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

it was f and g that i neeeded rofl.

hartnn (hartnn):

means you still need point G

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

yeahhh.

hartnn (hartnn):

G divides segment CB internally in the ratio 1:3 (1 parts to 3 parts)

hartnn (hartnn):

so we use the internal division formula. \(x = \dfrac{m_1x_1 +m_2x_2 }{m_1+m_2}\) \(y = \dfrac{m_1y_1 +m_2y_2 }{m_1+m_2}\)

OpenStudy (fluffynose):

I dont understand that alll. whats m mean?

hartnn (hartnn):

here, m1 = 1, m2 = 3 x1, y1 = -3,-3 x2,y2 = 6,-3
