What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-8, 2)(−8,2) to (7, -3)(7,−3) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Why not put points on a graph and take a look. Perhaps even without graphing we can notice that the horizontal distance is 15 and the vertical distance is 5. Since the desired ratio is 3:2 we need to divide the segment into fifths. Since the segment is easily divisible into fifths, we can see the point we need on the graph. See image.
