If point P is 4/7 of the distance from M to N, what ratio does the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N into?4:14:34:74:10
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:4:3Step-by-step explanation:Given that P divides segment MN into 4/7, let MN to be x units in length thenMP = 4/7 x =4x/7 --------(i)But MN =MP+PN so;x=4x/7 +PNx- 4X/7 =PN3x/7 =PN ----------(ii)To get the ratio of MP:PNMP: PN4x/7:3x/7MP/PN = 4x/7 / 3x/7MP/PN =4/3MP:PN = 4:3
