The coordinate of JK is (-1.7, -0.3)
The coordinate of the points that divides the line segment in the given ratio is calculated as:
[tex](x, y) = (\frac{ax_1 +bx_2}{a+b} , \frac{ay_1 +by_2}{a + b} )[/tex]
where;
a:b = 7:8
From the image;
(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 5) and,
(x₂, y₂) = (2, -5)
Substitute the given points in the equation above to calculate the coordinates of JK.
[tex](x, y) = (\frac{7(-6)+8(2)}{7+8} , \frac{7(5) +8(-5)}{7+8} )\\\\(x, y) = (\frac{-26}{15} , \frac{-5}{15} )\\\\(x,y) = (-1.7, -0.3)[/tex]
Thus, the coordinate of JK = (-1.7, -0.3)
