I received a homework Geometry break packet and there is a question I have never learned. The problem is, "The endpoints of DEF are D(11,4) and F(16,14). Determine and state the coordinates of point E, if DE:EF = 2:3."
The answer to the problem is given.
2/5 ⋅(16 − 1) = 6 2/5 ⋅(14 − 4) = 4 (1 + 6,4 + 4) = (7,8)
I still do not understand the question and how to solve it. Why was 2:3, had 2 divided by 5? Is there any formula for this? Please help me.
