Question

Find a point E on C D with bar such that the ratio of C E with bar to C D with bar is one-fourth.


negative 7

negative 5

negative 3

negative 1

Answer 1

C=-9, D=5

Answer 2

Can you please provide the coordinates of points C and D on the number line? Without this information, it is not possible to determine the exact location of point E.

Answer 3

To find the point E on CD such that the ratio of CE to CD is 1/4, we can calculate the difference between C and D, divide it by 4, and add it to C.

CD = D - C = 5 - (-9) = 5 + 9 = 14

CE = (1/4) * CD = (1/4) * 14 = 3.5

To find the coordinate of point E, we add CE to C:

E = C + CE = -9 + 3.5 = -5.5

Therefore, the coordinate of point E on CD with -9 as C and 5 as D is -5.5.
