The partitions involves dividing the line into subsegments
The coordinate of the point on the directed line segment is (0.5,-2)
How to partition the line?
The given parameters are:-
line segment = (-1, -1) to (5,-5)
Segment ratio = 1 : 3
The coordinates of the partition is calculated as:
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+ n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+ n})[/tex]
Substitute known values
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{1 *5 + 3 * -1}{1+ 3},\frac{1 *-5 + 3 * -1}{1+ 3})[/tex]
Evaluate the products
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{2}{4},\frac{-8}{4})[/tex]
Evaluate the quotients
[tex](x,y) = (0.5,-2)[/tex]
Hence, the coordinate of the partition is (x,y) = (0.5,-2)
