Number line, and point Y partitions line XZ into two parts so that the ratio of the length of line segment XY to the length of line segment YZ is 1:4. The coordinate of X is 1.3, and the coordinate of Y is 3.8. What is the coordinate of Z? Show all work

13.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If Points X and Z are on a number line and point Y partition line XZ into two parts where XY: YZ = 1:4, this can be expressed as;

XY/YZ = 1/4

cross multiply;

YZ = 4XY

Also, if the coordinate of X is 1.3, and the coordinate of Y is 3.8, then the distance XY will be expressed as XY = 3.8 - 1.3

XY = 2.5

YZ = 4(2.5)

YZ = 10

Since Y is at 3.8 and YZ is 10, then coordinate Z will be YZ + Y

coordinate of Z = 10+3.8

coordinate of Z = 13.8
