A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G. What are the coordinates of G?

Given:

A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G.

To find:

The coordinates of point G.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divide a line segment with end points and in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are

Point G divide the line segment FH in 8:2. Using section formula, we get

Therefore, the coordinates of point G are (4.8, 4.4).
