Directed line segment overline FG has endpoints F(4, 9) and G(- 8, - 9) .On the coordinate plane below , plot a point that partitions the directed line segment in a ratio of Point 1/2 Undo Reda x Reset 10 8 7 65 443 2

The coordinates of the point that makes the division in the given ratio is (0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the point on the line segment that divides the line segment in the ratio 1:2

We simply use the internal division formula

That would be;

(x,y) = (nx1 + mx2)/(m + n) , (ny1 + my2)/(m + n)

m = 1 and n = 2

(x1,y1) = (4,9)

(x2,y2) = (-8,-9)

Substituting these values into the formula, we have;

2(4) + 1(-8)/(1 + 2) , 2(9) + 1(-9)/(2 + 1)

= (8-8)/3 , (18-9)/3

= (0,3)
