-0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of C  =

Coordinates of D =

Let Coordinates of A= (x,y)

Since A point is located 1/4 the distance from C to D

So the remaining distance from point A to D is 3/4

Thus the ratio of CA : AD = m:n=1:3

Now to find points of A we will use section formula i.e.

Substituting the values:

Thus Find the x value for the point that is 1 over 4 the distance from point C to point D is -0.25

Hence option a is correct
