14. Given AC with A(4.-7) and C(-4, 11), if point B divides AC five-sixths of
the way from A to C, find the coordinates of B.

Respuesta :

Coordinates of B is [tex](\frac{4}{11} ,\frac{13}{11} )[/tex] that divides AC five-sixths of the way from A to C

Given :

AC with A(4.-7) and C(-4, 11), if point B divides AC five-sixths of

the way from A to C

From the given information , B divides AC internally in the ratio of AB to BC is 5:6

Lets apply section formula to find coordinates of B

[tex](\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} )[/tex]

m:n is the ratio 5:6

A is (x1,y1) that is (4,-7)

B is (x2,y2) that is (-4,11)

Substitute the values inside the formula

[tex](\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n} ,\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} )\\(\frac{(5)(-4)+6(4)}{5+6} ,\frac{5(11)+6(-7)}{5+6} )\\(\frac{4}{11} ,\frac{13}{11} )[/tex]

Coordinates of B is [tex](\frac{4}{11} ,\frac{13}{11} )[/tex]
