Point K (4,5) lies on line JL so that the ratio JK:KL is 1:2. If the coordinates of point J are (1,1) what are the coordinates of point L

Answer 1

It might help to start by graphing the points J & K. This will help you see what's happening visually.

The ratio statement (JK:KL=1:2) tells you that L is twice the distance from K as J is. You can then use the slope from J to K twice, to find L.

I hope this makes sense.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
