Asegment has endpoints a (-1, 1) and b (8, 4) . if the segment is divided into four equal parts, the coordinates of the point closest to point a are (7/2, 5/2) (5/4, 7/4) (23/4, 13/4)

Line is divided into 4 equal parts.

we have to find a point which is closest to point A.

So that means required point P(x,y) is at 1 unit away from A(-1,1) and 3 unit away from B(8,4)

Now we just need to use section formula to get the coordinate of required point using m1=1 and m2=3

So the final answer is .

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom

step-by-step explanation:

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
