You wish to take a flight from Nevada to New York. Use the point (-4,0) to represent Nevada, aand the (5,2) to represent New York. The airline had partitioned the flight so that you have a layover. The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio 3:2. Determine the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover. What state will you be in when you have the layover?

To answer this question we will use the following formulas to compute the coordinates of the point that divides a segment with terminal points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) at a given ratio a:b:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{bx_1+ax_2}{b+a}, \\ y=\frac{by_1_{}+ay_2}{b+a}\text{.} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates that represent the location of the layover are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{2\times(-4)+3\times5}{2+3}, \\ y=\frac{2\times0+3\times2}{2+3}\text{.} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Simplifying the above results we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-8+15}{5}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4, \\ y=\frac{0+6}{5}=\frac{6}{5}=1.2. \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, from the given map, we get that the point (1.4,1.2) is on Iowa.

Answer:

The ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is:

[tex]\mleft(1.4,1.2\mright)\text{.}[/tex]

The state at which we will be during the layover is Iowa.
