Answer:
(10, 17)
Step-by-step explanation:
It might be easier to explain with a picture or drawing, but I am new to this, so I would try using words.
Assuming the fruit market is on that straight line from Tia's home to Lei's, So we look at both address (coordinates)
From Tia to Lei, x coordinate is from 4 to 12, that's increased by 8, divide by 4, one step is 2.
y coordinate is from 8 to 20, an increase of 12, divide by 4 again, one step is 3.
The fruit market is at 3/4 distance, so 3 steps, on both x and y coordinates.
x: 4+6 = 10
y: 8+9=17
The fruit market is at point (10,17)
A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.
The point (x,y) which divides the segment AB with endpoints at A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in ratio m:n has cordinates
[tex]x= \dfrac{nx_1+nx_2}{m+n}[/tex]
[tex]y= \dfrac{ny_1+ny_2}{m+n}[/tex]
Tia is at P(4, 8) and Lei is at Q(12, 20).
The fruit market (F) is three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home, then PM : PQ = 3:4 or PM : MQ = 3:1
So,
[tex]x= \dfrac{1.4+3.12}{3+1} = \dfrac{4+36}{4} = \dfrac{40}{4} = 10 \\y= \dfrac{1.8+3.20}{3+1} = \dfrac{8+60}{4} = \dfrac{68}{4} = 17[/tex]
Hence, the fruit market is at point (10,17) which means it is placed at the corner of 10th Street and 17th Avenue.
