Question

Point C is located at (1, 2) and point D is located at (-4, -2). Find the X value for the point that is 1/4 the distance from point C to point D

Answer 1

D (-4; -2)
C (1; 2)
M (x; y)
DM+MC=CD
CM:MD=1:3
M: x= x(C)-(x(C) - x(D))/4=1-(1-(-4))/4=1 - (6/4)=1 - 1,5= - 0,5
M: y=y(C)-(y(C) - y(D))/4=2-(2-(-2))/4=2 - (4/4)=2 - 1=1
M(x; y)=M( -0,5; 1)
