On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point A to point B. Point A is at (7, negative 2) and point B is at (negative 8, negative 9). What are the x- and y-coordinates of point C, which partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 5:8? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. x = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 y = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (y 2 minus y 1) + y 1 (–2.2, –6.3) (–2.4, –6.4) (2.7, –0.7) (1.2, –4.7)
