Segment upper A upper B is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 1 to 4 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 1 to 8 in increments of 1.
Find the coordinates of point H
on AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ such that the ratio of AH
to HB
is 1:4.
To find the coordinates of point H, we can use the ratio of AH to HB.
Let's call the coordinates of point A (x1, y1) and the coordinates of point B (x2, y2).
We know that the ratio of AH to HB is 1:4. This means that the length of segment AH is 1/5 of the length of segment AB, and the length of segment HB is 4/5 of the length of segment AB.
Using the distance formula, we can calculate the length of segment AB:
AB = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Then, we can find the coordinates of point H using the formula:
xH = x1 + (1/5)(x2 - x1)
yH = y1 + (1/5)(y2 - y1)
Substituting the known coordinates of points A and B, we can calculate the coordinates of point H.

these are one of the answer choices
To find the coordinates of point H, we will use the formula mentioned earlier:
xH = x1 + (1/5)(x2 - x1)
yH = y1 + (1/5)(y2 - y1)
Using the coordinates of point A (0.75, 1.5) and point B (-1, -2), we can substitute these values into the formula:
xH = 0.75 + (1/5)(-1 - 0.75) = 0.75 + (-0.35) = 0.4
yH = 1.5 + (1/5)(-2 - 1.5) = 1.5 + (-0.7) = 0.8
Therefore, the coordinates of point H are (0.4, 0.8).
there is no 4 there
Apologies for the misunderstanding.
To find the coordinates of point H when the ratio of AH to HB is 1:4, we can follow the same formula mentioned earlier:
xH = x1 + (1/5)(x2 - x1)
yH = y1 + (1/5)(y2 - y1)
Using the coordinates of point A (0.75, 1.5) and point B (0.2, 0.2), we can substitute these values into the formula:
xH = 0.75 + (1/5)(0.2 - 0.75) = 0.75 + (-0.11) = 0.64
yH = 1.5 + (1/5)(0.2 - 1.5) = 1.5 + (-0.26) = 1.24
Therefore, the coordinates of point H are (0.64, 1.24).
To find the coordinates of point H on segment AB such that the ratio of AH to HB is 1:4, we need to divide the segment AB into 5 equal parts, with AH being one part and HB being four parts.
First, we need to determine the coordinates of points A and B. We are given that the x-axis ranges from -1 to 4 in increments of 1, so A and B will have x-coordinates within that range.
Let's assume point A has an x-coordinate of a and point B has an x-coordinate of b. Since A and B lie on the segment AB, their x-coordinates must be between -1 and 4.
Next, we need to determine the y-coordinates of points A and B. We are given that the y-axis ranges from -1 to 8 in increments of 1, so the y-coordinates of A and B will be within that range.
Now, we can determine the coordinates of points A and B using the given information:
A = (a, y1), where y1 is the y-coordinate of point A.
B = (b, y2), where y2 is the y-coordinate of point B.
Since the ratio of AH to HB is 1:4, the total length of the segment AB can be divided into 5 equal parts, with AH being one part and HB being four parts.
To find the coordinates of point H, we need to divide the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of points A and B into the same 1:4 ratio.
The x-coordinate of point H can be found using the equation:
xH = (4/5) * a + (1/5) * b
The y-coordinate of point H can be found using the equation:
yH = (4/5) * y1 + (1/5) * y2
By substituting the values of a, b, y1, and y2 into these equations, we can find the coordinates of point H on segment AB.
