help mee

onlymaya:

Segment GH is shown on the graph.

onlymaya:

What are the coordinates of the point that divides the segment into a 3:2 ratio? (–7.5, 0.5) (0.5, –7.5) (–1.2, –2.2) (–2.2, –1.2)

onlymaya:

idk how to ss im sorry

luhivqqcherry:

in the menu at the bottom where the time is shown you should be able to see "screen capture" .

me no find it

onlymaya:

welp imma have to resort to my only choice guessing

luhivqqcherry:

By the information given .

luhivqqcherry:

It seems like it could be D .

onlymaya:

If the endpoints of AB are A(–2, 3) and B(1, 8), which shows the correct way to determine the coordinates of point C, the midpoint of AB?

luhivqqcherry:

is it a multi choice ? .

onlymaya:

yeah but i googled it

onlymaya:

thanks for ya'lls help or at least for trying to help me lmaooo

onlymaya:

your efforts are seen love youu sm thnx

umm:

Sorry, spotty Wi-Fi. Without a visual representation, I’ll try and explain it as simple as I can. In simpler terms, if you have two points A and B, and you want to find a point C that's closer to A in a 3:2 ratio, you can find the x-coordinate of C by going three-fifths (3/5) of the way from B to A and the y-coordinate by going three-fifths (3/5) of the way from B to A.

In order to be able to find the coordinates of the midpoint C of segment AB, you use the midpoint formula. If needed an explanation for midpoint formula, let me know and I can break it down for you. For points A(-2, 3) and B(1, 8), the coordinates of the midpoint C are calculated as follows: \[ x = \frac{-2 + 1}{2} \] \[ y = \frac{3 + 8}{2} \] The correct way to determine the coordinates of point C, the midpoint of AB, is: \[ C \left(\frac{-1}{2}, \frac{11}{2}\right) \] And a section way to find the midpoint is by averaging the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of points A and B: \[ x = \frac{-2 + 1}{2} \] \[ y = \frac{3 + 8}{2} \] This gives you the coordinates of C as \((-0.5, 5.5)\). So, both methods yield the same result, confirming that the midpoint of AB is \((-0.5, 5.5)\).
