Given the points C(-1,-5) and D(-7,11), find the coordinates of point E on CD such that the ratio of CE to ED is 5:3
Hello Guest!
\(y_E=y_C+\frac{3}{5}(y_D-y_C)\\ y_E=-5+ \frac{3}{5}(11-(-5))=\color{blue}4.6\)
\(x_E=x_C-\frac{3}{5}(x_C-x_D)\\ x_E=-1-\frac{3}{5}(-1-(-7))=\color{blue}-4.6\)
The coordinates of point E are E (-4.6,4.6)
