Line segment is AB . Point A is ( -5,4) and point B is (7,-2) . Samantha draws point C on the line severely so that the ratio of AC to CB is 1:3 . What are the coordinates of point C ?
Added by Cristian H.
Step 1
Find the distance between points A and B using the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2) d = sqrt((7-(-5))^2 + (-2-4)^2) d = sqrt(12^2 + (-6)^2) d = sqrt(144 + 36) d = sqrt(180) d = 6sqrt(5) Show more…
