Question

PLEASE HELP WILL PICK BRAINLIEST!!! 50 POINTS!!!!

AB is a directed segment with endpoints A(2,2) and B(14,14). In two or more complete sentences, explain how you would verify that Point X, with a coordinate of (6,6), divides in AB a 1:2 ratio?

Answer 1

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying section formula :

⇒ x = 1(14) + 2(2) / 1 + 2 = 18/3 = 6

⇒ y = 1(14) + 2(2) / 1 + 2 = 18/3 = 6

We understand after substituting the values of the endpoints in the section formula that the Point X divides the line in the ratio 1 : 2.
