To find the coordinates of point T, we need to divide the segment AB into two segments in the ratio 1:3.

Since point T divides segment AB into two parts in the ratio 1:3, we can determine the x-coordinate of T by taking one part of the distance from A to B and adding it to the x-coordinate of A. Similarly, we can determine the y-coordinate of T by taking one part of the distance from A to B and adding it to the y-coordinate of A.

The x-coordinate of T is calculated as follows:
x-coordinate of T = x-coordinate of A + (1/4) * (x-coordinate of B - x-coordinate of A)
x-coordinate of T = 0 + (1/4) * (7 - 0)
x-coordinate of T = 0 + (1/4) * 7
x-coordinate of T = 0 + 7/4
x-coordinate of T = 7/4 = 1.75

The y-coordinate of T is calculated as follows:
y-coordinate of T = y-coordinate of A + (1/4) * (y-coordinate of B - y-coordinate of A)
y-coordinate of T = 0 + (1/4) * (6 - 0)
y-coordinate of T = 0 + (1/4) * 6
y-coordinate of T = 0 + 6/4
y-coordinate of T = 6/4 = 1.5

Therefore, the coordinates of point T are (1.75, 1.5).
sorry but its wrong

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again:

To find the coordinates of point T that divides segment AB into two segments in the ratio 1:3, we need to calculate the coordinates based on the given ratio.

Let's assume the coordinates of point A are (x1, y1) and the coordinates of point B are (x2, y2). In this case, A(0, 0) and B(7, 6) based on the given information.

Let the coordinates of point T be (x, y).

According to the ratio 1:3, the x-coordinate of T can be calculated using the formula: x = ((3 * x1) + x2) / 4
Substituting the values, we have: x = ((3 * 0) + 7) / 4 = 7 / 4 = 1.75

Similarly, the y-coordinate of T can be calculated using the formula: y = ((3 * y1) + y2) / 4
Substituting the values, we have: y = ((3 * 0) + 6) / 4 = 6 / 4 = 1.5

Therefore, the coordinates of point T are (1.75, 1.5).
the coordinates are A (0,0) B (4,5)

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the coordinates of point T using the updated coordinates A(0,0) and B(4,5) based on the given ratio.

Let the coordinates of point T be (x, y).

According to the ratio 1:3, the x-coordinate of T can be calculated using the formula: x = ((3 * x1) + x2) / 4
Substituting the values, we have: x = ((3 * 0) + 4) / 4 = 4 / 4 = 1

Similarly, the y-coordinate of T can be calculated using the formula: y = ((3 * y1) + y2) / 4
Substituting the values, we have: y = ((3 * 0) + 5) / 4 = 5 / 4 = 1.25

Therefore, the coordinates of point T are (1, 1.25).
