The coordinates of the point that is 4/5 of the way from T to S is (2,10)
How to determine the coordinates of the point?
The given parameters are:
T = (6,-2)
S = (1,13)
Location = 4/5
The location 4/5 means
Ratio, m : n = 4 : 1
The coordinate is then calculated as:
[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{m +n} * (mx_2 + nx_1,my_2 + ny_1)[/tex]
This gives
[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{4 +1} * (4 * 1 + 1 * 6 , 4 * 13 + 1 * -2)[/tex]
Evaluate
[tex](x,y) = \frac{1}{5} * (10 , 50)[/tex]
This gives
(x,y) = (2,10)
Hence, the coordinates of the point that is 4/5 of the way from T to S is (2,10)
