On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point a to point b. point a is at (2, negative 3) and point b is at (negative 4, 9). what are the x- and y- coordinates of point e, which partitions the directed line segment from a to b into a ratio of 1:2? x = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (x 2 minus x 1) x 1 y = (startfraction m over m n endfraction) (y 2 minus y 1) y 1 (0, 1) (–1, 3) (–2, 5) (1, 0)
