Number 8 please, What are the coordinates of point C below segment AC that is partitioned at point B in a ratio of 2 to 5.
Accepted Solution
A:
[tex]\bf \left. \qquad \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(5,0)\qquad C(x,y)\qquad
\qquad 2:5
\\\\\\
\cfrac{AB}{BC} = \cfrac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{A}{C}=\cfrac{2}{5}\implies 5A=2C\implies 5(5,0)=2(x,y)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
{ B=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)}[/tex]
