Answer:
The coordinates of point E are (7,8).
Step-by-step explanation:
Point E:
Is given by (x,y).
DE: EF = 2:3.
This means that, for both coordinates x and y:
[tex]E - D = \frac{2}{2+3}(F-D)[/tex]
[tex]E - D = \frac{2}{5}(F-D)[/tex]
x-coordinate:
x-coordinate of D: 1
x-coordinate of F: 16
[tex]E - D = \frac{2}{5}(F-D)[/tex]
[tex]x - 1 = \frac{2}{5}(16-1)[/tex]
[tex]x - 1 = 2*3[/tex]
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
y-coordiante:
y-coordinate of D: 4
y-coordinate of F: 14
[tex]E - D = \frac{2}{5}(F-D)[/tex]
[tex]y - 4 = \frac{2}{5}(14-4)[/tex]
[tex]y - 4 = 2*2[/tex]
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
The coordinates of point E are (7,8).
