Respuesta :

the given edge poitnts of the line are (-5, 8) and (-1 , -8)

let point (x, y) divide the line in 3 : 1

so the point (x, y ) will be

[tex]x=\frac{3\times-1+1\times-5}{3+1}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{-3-5}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}=-2[/tex]

x=-2

and y

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{3\times-8+1\times8}{3+1} \\ y=\frac{-24+8}{4}=\frac{-14}{4}=\frac{-7}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

so answer is, the coordinate of the point is (-2, -7/2).
