The endpoints of AB are ​A(-8​,-6​) and ​B(​-3,-1​). Point C lies on Ab and is 3/5 of the way from A to B. What are the coordinates of point​ C?

Sagot :

Answer: C(-6.125,-4.125)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle\\A(-8,-6)\ \ \ \ B(-3,-1)\\Let\ \frac{3}{5}=\lambda \\Hence,\\\boxed {x_C=\frac{x_1+x_2\lambda}{1+\lambda} }\ \ \ \ \ \ \boxed {y_C=\frac{y_1+y_2\lambda}{1+\lambda} }\\\\x_1=-8\ \ \ \ x_2=-3\\\lambda=\frac{3}{5} \\\\\lambda=\frac{0.6*5}{5}\\\\\lambda=0.6\\\\x_C=\frac{-8+(-3)*0.6}{1+0.6} \\\\x_C=\frac{-8-1.8}{1.6} \\\\x_C=\frac{-9.8}{1.6} \\\\x_C=-\frac{9.8*10}{1.6*10} \\\\x_C=-\frac{98}{16} \\\\x_C=-6.125\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\\y_1=-6\ \ \ \ y_2=-1\ \ \ \ \lambda=0.6\\\\y_C=\frac{-6+(-1)*0.6}{1+0.6} \\\\y_C=\frac{-6-0.6}{1.6}\\\\y_C=\frac{-6.6}{1.6} \\\\y_C=-\frac{6.6*10}{1.6*10} \\\\y_C=-\frac{66}{16} \\\\y_C=-4.125[/tex]

[tex]Thus,\ C(-6.125,-4.125)[/tex]
