What is the y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:3?

K(8,11)

J(-3,1)

*7

*-6

*5

*-5

(D)5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point J(-3,1) and K(8,11).

The line segment that divides the segment from J to K in any given ratio can be determined using the formula.

In the given case:

, m:n=2:3

Since we are to determine the y-coordinate of the point that divides JK into a ratio of 2:3, we have:

The y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed  line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:3 is 5.

The correct option is D.
