What are the x- and y- coordinates of point p on the directed line segment from k to j such that p is three-fifths the length of the line segment from k to j? x = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (x 2 minus x 1) x 1 y = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (y 2 minus y 1) y 1 (40, 96) (85, 105) (80, 104) (96, 72)

Sagot :

The coordinate of P is (A) ( 40, 96).

What are coordinates?

  • Coordinates are two integers (Cartesian coordinates) or a letter and a number that point to a specific place on a grid known as a coordinate plane.
  • A coordinate plane has four quadrants and two axes: x (horizontal) and y (vertical) (vertical).

To find What are the x- and y- coordinates of point p on the directed line segment from K to J:

It can be seen from the figure the coordinates of K and J:

  • K ( 160 ,120) and J (-40 , 80)

The coordinates of P can be determined as:

[tex]x=\frac{m}{m+n} (x_{2}-x_{1})+x_{1} } \\y=\frac{m}{m+n} (y_{2}-y_{1})+y_{1} } \\[/tex]

So, as the P point divides the line into three-fifths of the length,

  • KP = (3/5)KJ  
  • JP = (2/5) KJ

Which gives the ratio as 3: 2.

m:n = 3:2

  • x = (3/5) (-40 -160) + (160)
  • x = 40
  • y = ( 3/5)(-40) +120
  • y = 96

Therefore, the coordinate of P is (A) ( 40, 96).
