Find a point E on CD such that the ratio of CE to CD is 1/4

A -7
B -5
C -3
D -1

1 answer

In this case, we know that the ratio of CE to CD is given as 1/4.

Let's assume that CD has a length of 4 units.

Since the ratio of CE to CD is 1/4, the length of CE can be calculated as follows:
CE = CD * (1/4)
CE = 4 * (1/4)
CE = 1

Therefore, the length of CE is 1 unit.

Using this information, we can identify point E on CD by counting 1 unit from point C towards point D.

So the answer is point E is 1 unit from point C on the line CD, which is option D, -1.
