A point M on a segment with endpoints X(1, −2) and Y(10, 3) partitions the segment in a 4:1 ratio. Find M.

Answer 1

(4/5)*9+1 is x coordinate

(4/5)*5-2 is y coordinate.

Since XY can be considered hypotenuse of right triangle with legs 9 and 5

if XY is marked at 4/5 spot, then legs must be marked at 4/5 spot and lengths added to

X coordinate (1,-2)
