Point r is located at (3, 2) and point s is located at (8, 15) . what are the coordinates of the point that partitions the directed line segment rs¯¯¯¯¯ in a 1: 4 ratio? enter your answer as decimals in the boxes.

(4, 4.6)

=======================================

The x coordinates of the points (3,2) and (8,15) are x = 3 and x = 8 respectively. The distance between these x values is 8-3 = 5 units. So we move 5 units to the right to go from the first point to the second point.

Imagine we had 5 blocks. If 1 of them is colored red and the other four are green, then the ratio of red to green is 1:4. We have 1 part red, 4 parts green. So 1+4 = 5 total. The "red block" in the metaphor mentioned basically tells us how far to move over the total distance 5. So we move 1/5th of the way along the horizontal distance of 5.

1/5 of 5 = (1/5)*5 = 1

So we move exactly one unit along the x direction. Therefore, we add 1 to to the x coordinate of (3,2) to end up with (3+1,2) = (4,2). This isn't the final answer, but it helps get us closer.

For the y coordinates of the given points we see that the y difference is 15-2 = 13. Multiply this by 1/5 to get

(1/5)*13 = 13/5 = 2.6

We follow effectively the same steps as before, but now we're dealing with the y values this time. So we move 2.6 units in the y direction (ie move 2.6 units up)

Add 2.6 onto the y value of that last point we found to get (4,2+2.6) = (4,4.6)

So that explains why the answer is (4, 4.6)

A visual might help so I've posted one below in the attached images. In that image, the location of point T is the final answer.

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
