What are the x- and y-coordinates of point C, which partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 5:8? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. (–2.2, –6.3) (–2.4, –6.4) (2.7, –0.7) (1.2, –4.7)

(1.2, –4.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that on the plane of coordinate, a line is made from point A (7,-2) to point B(-8,-9)

Also, the ratio of A to B is 5:8

Based on this, the x and y coordinates at point C is

= (1.2, –4.7)

Hence, the x and y coordinates of point C is (1.2, –4.7)

Therefore the last option is correct
