The endpoints of directed line segment PQ have coordinates of P(-7,5) and Q(5,3). What are the coordinates of point A, on PQ, that divide PQ into a ratio of 1:3?

Correction

P(-7,-5)

d(-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the coordinates of PQ as  P(-7,5) and Q(5,3).

-The sum of the ratios is:

Let d be the point that divide's the segment in the ratio 1:3

#The coordinates that divide the segment into a 1:3 ratio therefore has to be from P.

#We determine the length of the x-axis coordinate:

#We determine the length of the y-axis coordinate:

Hence, the coordinates of point d is d(-4,-3)

answer: 48

just remember to use pemdas:

parentheses

expressions

multiplication

division

addition

subtraction

-2 is the right
