Uv has the endpoints u(0, 3) and v(–4, –5). which shows the correct calculation for finding the x-coordinate of the point that partitions the line segment into a 4: 3 ratio? x = (–4) x = (–4) x = (–5 – 3) + 3 x = (–5 – 3) – 5

A:   X=(4/7)(-4)

Step-by-step explanation: question was on E2020

Solution:

The end points of line segment UV is U(0, 3) and V(–4, –5).

The line segment is Partitioned by a point in the ratio of 4:3.Let that point be (x,y).

Formula for internal division

A line segment having end points divided by a point (x,y) in the ratio of m:n.  

i agree because i see the other persons thinking is clear
