Find the coordinates of point Q that lies along the directed line segment from R(-2, 4) to S(18, -6) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 3:7.

The coordinates of the point Q is (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The directed line segment  extends from R(-2, 4), to S(18, -6)

The ratio in which the point Q partitions the directed line segment = 3:7

Therefore, the proportions of the R to Q = 3/(3 + 7) = 3/10 the length of RS

Which gives;

(-2 + (18-(-2))×3/10,  4 +(-6 -4)×3/10) which is (4, 1)

The coordinates of the point Q = (4, 1)

We check the length from R to S is given by the relation for length as follows

Where;

R(-2, 4) = (x₁, y₁)

S(18, -6) = (x₂, y₂)

Length of segment RS  = 22.36

length from R to Q = 6.7086

We check RQ/RS = 6.7082/22.36 = 0.3

Also QS/RS = (22.36 - 6.7082)/22.36 = 0.6999≈ 0.7

The coordinates of the point Q = (4, 1).

step-by-step explanation:

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
