the coordinates of the endpoints of CE are C(-3, -7) and E(7, -2). point M (3, -4) is on CE. what is the ratio of CM:ME?

Question

what is the ratio of CM:ME?

Answer 1

I have the distance formula on my TI-84

If I use the distance formula for CM (-3,-7) and (3,-4) I get √45

If I use the distance formula for ME (3,-4) and (7,-2) I get √20

To get the ratio, √45/√20 = 1.5
