You wish to take a flight from Nevada to New York. Use the point (-4, 0) to represent Nevada, and the (5, 2) to represent New York. The airline has partitioned the flight so that you have a layover. The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1. Determine the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover.

Sagot :

Using proportions, it is found that the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1, hence, for both the x and y coordinates, we have that:

L - Nv = 3/4(Ny - Nv)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

[tex]x + 4 = \frac{3}{4}(5 + 4)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{27}{4} - \frac{16}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{11}{4}[/tex]

x = 3.75

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4}(2)[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{6}{4}[/tex]

y = 1.5.

The ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).
