Algebra.Com's Answer #661129 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The segment joining (2,-4) and (9,5) is divided into 2 segment one of which 5times as long as the other. Find the point of division. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Divide the segment into 6 parts, 1 for the short piece one for the long. \n" ); document.write( "Do the x and y separately. \n" ); document.write( "For x: \n" ); document.write( "(9-2)/2 = 7/2 \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 6 --> 7/12 \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "For y: \n" ); document.write( "(5+4)/2 = 9/2 \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 6 --> 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "If the point of division is closer to (2,-4), add the x & y to (2,-4) \n" ); document.write( "--> (31/12,-13/4) \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "If the point of division is closer to (9,5), subtract the x & y to (2,-4) \n" ); document.write( "--> (101/12,17/4) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
