Find the coordinates of point b on ac such that ab is 1/5 of ac.
!
i’ve been working on this homework for ages

B...(5,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB = 1/5 AC

Then for the x coordinate of B

we then say...,

;(8 - - 7) = 15

;1/5 × 15 = 3

; then subtract 3 from the x-coordinate of A

; 8 - 3 = 5

Then for the y coordinate of B

we then say,

;(-8 - - 3 ) = -5

;1/5 × (-5) = -1

;then subtract (-1) from the y coordinate of A

; (-8 - - 1) = -7

Coordinates of B(5,-7)
