Find the y value for the point that divides the line segment cd into a ratio of 4: 1.

In order to have a ratio of 4:1, we have to split CD in 5 equal parts. Then, we'll choose a point that is 1 part away from D and 4 parts away from C, solving the problem.

The horizontal distance between C and D is

So, we want a point whose x coordinate is 4/5 more than the x coordinate of D:

Similarly, for the y coordinate, we have a vertical distance of

So, we want a point whose x coordinate is 5/5=1 more than the y coordinate of D:

So, point P=(29/5, 2) divides CD is such a way that

(see graphic proof below)

this doesn't make sense lol

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom
