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. (10 points)

Answer 1

What do you think it is?

Answer 2

not a clue ik one perrson knows they offline rn tho

Answer 3

i was really good at geometry but then i broke my hang in football so i couldnt do any of the work myself so i fell farrrrr behind

Answer 4

hand

Answer 5

Okay, so lets make that 3 people.



So lets draw this
So look, the differences in x values is 6, the differences in y-values is 3.
So we can set up a ratio.

Answer 6

If the distance between them is 6 for the x-coor. We can break that up into 3 pieces. 2 units in each piece. Since the ratio is 2x:x, It will be 4 right from point D, and 2 more right from there to get to point F

Answer 7

So the x-coordinate of point t will be 4 to the right of point D

Answer 8

Now break up the problem for the y-coordinate similar to what I did for the x-coor and tell me what you get.

Answer 9

hmmm i am confused i mean can u just type me out a step by step written out paragraph answer or how ever long it has to be so i can just send it to my teacher so i can get it submitted and over with and then we will go over it together so i can really understand it

Answer 10

What have I been doing?

Answer 11

exactly that

Answer 12

That is step -by-step, I don't know another way to explain it. I told you how to calculate the value of T (the x, you find the y using what I said).

Answer 13

noo can u send me a paragraph step by step answer all together so i can just send it to her real quick

Answer 14

i just wanna get this done i greatly appreciate u rn thanks sm

Answer 15

Thats cheating.

Answer 16

NP, but that would be plagarizing, use what I said and make your response a paragraph long. If you don't take time to understand it, then there is no point in submitting it.

Answer 17

i said after u send me the paragraph i will really understand it

Answer 18

im tired its 12: 37 am where i live rn

Answer 19

listen kid. If you understand it, no problem. If you don't, learn it first

Answer 21

No plagarizing.

Answer 22

alright lets do it step by step

Answer 23

Tell us rn what darkknight taught you if you really understand it.

Answer 24

What have I been doing?

Answer 25

well i mean continue

Answer 26

ok

Answer 27

No I'm done. You solve for y and tell me what you get

Answer 28

okay give me a min

Answer 29

I think @darkknight already said it nice and clear but u have your own understanding

Answer 30

GIve him some time

Answer 31

can we redo this i really cant understand your drawings

Answer 32

im real confused

Answer 33

I thought you understood?

Answer 34

you clearly don't understand. You wanted to plagiarize and but yet you still don't understand what we are teaching you.

Answer 35

But hopefully you get it sooner or later

Answer 36

i said ill learn your not teaching either darkknight is

Answer 37

FIne. No drawings.
So you have 1,4 and 7,1
The difference in x is 7-1 = 6.
The difference in y is 4-1= 3.
So remember the 2x:x ratio?
So the x coor will be 6(2/3) to the right of the first one
and y will be 3(2/3) below the first one

Answer 38

shimask. please avoid comments like those

Answer 39

i understand more but what is the 2x:x ratio

Answer 40

Okay so do you see in the problem where it says 2:1 ratio?

Answer 41

yes

Answer 42

That means that If you have a segment from D to f, then If there is a point T in the middle.
Ex:

Answer 43

ahh okay

Answer 44

Now, that applies for X and Y. also stop fighting lads

Answer 45

So the x coor ratio and y coor ratio differences also follow 2:1

Answer 46

the real question is what is the point coordinate between 2x and x

Answer 47

Okay go offline, see you tomorrow

Answer 48

cya tommorow

Answer 49

hopefully you figure it out....

Answer 50

good luck

Answer 51

hey yall i submitted it after yall helped me i watched a vid to make sure i was doin it right and i am pretty surre i was correct

Answer 52

thanks darkknight

Answer 53

np, I acknowledge that you were tired yesterday, but do not ask to plagarize answers. That offends the person helping you. But great job! Keep Glowing.
