Question

Line segment AB has endpoints A(10, 4) and B(2, 8). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from A to B in the ratio of 1:4

Answer 1

`\text{coordinate of the point } = \bigg( (10 + 2)/(5) , (4 + 8)/(5) \bigg)`


`\text{coordinate of the point} = \bigg( 2.4, 2.4\bigg)`

Answer: (2.4, 2.4)
