8. Given directed line segment JL below, find the coordinates of K such that the ratio of JK to JL is 7:8. Plot point K.
HELP DUE TOMORROW

the answer is 18 units because there are 18 small cubes inside the rectangle

hope this and p.s i am also in k12

step-by-step explanation:

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu
