PLZ HELP Point C(3.6, -0.4) divides in the ratio 3: 2. If the coordinates of A are (-6, 5), the coordinates of point B are? If point D divides in the ratio 4: 5, the coordinates of point D are?

In this problem, there is multiple choice for every question. The trick is to exclude the answer that unlikely true.

To solve this easier, you need to find the distance of AB first. After that try to match the answer coordinate with the midpoint of AB. 

1.   Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

A (-2,-1) and B(-6, -7)The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = -6 - (-2)= -4

y= y2-y1 = -7 - (-1)= -6

Since both x and y coordinate of A and B is minus, let's try answer with x and y minus value.

Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= -2 + (2/2+3)*(-4)= -3.6

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= -1 + (2/2+3)*(-6)= -1 - 12/5= -3.4

2.  Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7

A(4,-3) and B(-7,8)

The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = -7 - (4)= -11

y= y2-y1 = 8 - (-3)= 11

Since both x and y distance is 11, let's try answer with total ratio 11

Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= 4 + (4/4+7)*(-11)= 4- 4=0

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= -3 + (4/4+7)*(11)= -3 +4= 1

3. Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3

A(3,4) and B(11,12)The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = 11 - (3)= 8

y= y2-y1 = 12 - (4)= 8

Since both x and y distance is 8, let's try answer with the total ratio 8. Both of x and y also plus, so focus on coordinate with both x and y plus too.

Point C(3.5, -2.5) divides AB in the ratio 1:7-----> total ratio 8,y minus

Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  -----> total ratio 8, x minus

Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3   -----> total ratio 8, both x and y plus

x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= 3 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 3+ 5=8

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= 4 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 4 +5= 9

4. Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  

A(-5,2)and B(7, 14)

The distance between A and B would be:

x= x2-x1 = 7 - (-5)= 12

y= y2-y1 = 14 - (2)= 12

Since both x and y distance is 12, it will be hard to use it since 12 has many factors. Both y coordinate is plus, so focus on coordinate with y more than x and plus.

Point C(4, 1.6) divides AB in the ratio 3:2  ----->  x more than y

Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6  -------> y plus, y more than xx3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance

x3= -5 + (2/2+6)*(12)= -5+ 3=-2

y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance

y3= 2 + (2/2+6)*(12)= 2 +3= 5
