Answer:
M = (3, 3.25)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, using the internal selection formula
Given
m:n = 3:5
(x1,y1) =(0,1)
(x2,y2) =(8,7)
[tex]M={[(mx2+nx1)/(m+n)],[(my2+ny1)/(m+n)]}[/tex]
M = (3, 3.25)
2.
M is the point on XY that is 3/8 of the way from X to Y.
x-coordinate of M = 0 + (3/8)(8) = 0 + 3 = 3
y-coordinate of M = 1 + (3/8)(6) = 1 + 2.25 = 3.25
So, M = (3, 3.25)
or (3, 3 1/4)
