Point E is located at (−1, 6)(−1, 6) and point F is located at (3, 9)(3, 9) .
What are the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment EF¯¯¯¯¯ in a 3:2 ratio?
Enter your answer, as decimals, in the boxes.
x coordinate = -1 +[3 - - 1 ] (3/5) = -1 + [4] (3/5) = -1 + 12/5 = 7/5
y coordinate = 6 + [9 - 6] (3/5) = 6 + [3](3/5) = 6 + 9/5 = 39/5
So the point is (7/5, 39/5) = ( 1.4, 7.8 )
