On a coordinate plane, the endpoints of line segment jk are j (-10, 12) k (8, -12). point l lies on segment jk and divides it into two segments such that to lk is 5: 1. what are the coordinates of point l?

(-7,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the points dividing the line segment in ratio m:n can be calculated as:

Here x1, y1 are the coordinates of first point J (-10, 12) and x2, y2 are the coordinates of second point K(8, -12).

In this case m will be 5 and n will be 1 as the ratio is 5:1

Using all these values we can find the coordinates of point L

Thus, the coordinates of point L which divides the line segment JK in 5:1 are (-7,8)
