Point A is located at (0, 4), and point C is located at (−3, 5). Find the x value for the point B that is located one fourth the distance from point A to point C.
A.) −0.25
B.)−0.5
C.)−0.75
D.)−1

Answer:

-0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Because once we add the x coordinates (0+-3=-3) we multiply -3 times 1/4 which leaves us -0.75.

Answer: C.)  −0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula:

When a line segment joining [tex]\left(x_{1},y_{1}\right)\ and\ \left(x_{2},y_{2}\right)[/tex] is divided in m:n ratio by a point then the coordinate of the point is:

[tex]\left(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n},\frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

Here ratio = m:n = [tex]\frac{1}{4}:\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{4}:\frac{3}{4}=1:3[/tex].

Using this formula the x-coordinate will be = [tex]\frac{1\left(-3\right)+3\left(0\right)}{1+3}=-0.75[/tex].
