Question

Marking as brainliest!!!!

Segment DE has endpoints M(-6, 7) and E(4, 11). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from M to E in the ratio of 1:3.

The answer chose is below!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

M (-6, 7)

E (4, 11)

r = 1 / 3

Formula

$x = \frac{x1 + rx2}{1 + r}$

$y = \frac{y1 + ry2}{1 + r}$

x = $\frac{-6 + (1/3)(11)}{(4/3)} = \frac{-6 + (4/3)}{(4/3)}  = \frac{-18 + 4}{4} = \frac{-14}{4}  = \frac{-7}{2}$

y = $\frac{7 + (1/3)(11)}{4/3} = \frac{7 + (11/3)}{(4/3)} = \frac{21+ 11}{4}  = \frac{32}{4} = 8$
