2. line segment cd has endpoints (-3, 8) and
(1,-5). what are the coordinates of the point
that divides cd in the ratio of 3: 7?

The coordinates of point which divides line CD in ratio 3 : 7 is                      x =   And  y =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The line segment CD has endpoints as ,

C = ( -3 , 8)   And  D = ( 1, - 5 )

The line is divided in ratio m1 : m2 = 3 : 7

Let the coordinates of point which divides CD in ratio 3 : 7 = ( x , y )

∴ x =

Or,  x =

Or,  x =

And y =

Or,   y =  

Or,   y =

Hence The coordinates of point which divides line CD in ratio 3 : 7 is                x =   And  y =      Answer

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
