Answer:
(1.2, –4.7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that on the plane of coordinate, a line is made from point A (7,-2) to point B(-8,-9)
Also, the ratio of A to B is 5:8
Based on this, the x and y coordinates at point C is
[tex]= [\frac{5\times (-8) + 8\times 7}{5 + 8} , \frac{5\times (-9) + 8\times -2}{5 + 8}]\\\\= [\frac{16}{3}, \frac{-61}{13}][/tex]
= (1.2, –4.7)
Hence, the x and y coordinates of point C is (1.2, –4.7)
Therefore the last option is correct
