Point A is located at (4, 1) and point B is located at (9, 13) .
What are the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment AB¯¯¯¯¯ in a 4:1 ratio?
Enter your answer as decimals in the boxes.
(4, 1) and ( 9, 13)
The coordinates of the point are given by
( 4 + (4/5)(9 - 4) , 1 + (4/5)(13 - 1) ) =
( 4 + 4, 1 + 48/5 ) =
(8 , 53/5)
