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
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.
C=-9, D=5
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.
To find the point E on line CD such that the ratio of CE to CD is one-fourth, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the length of CD. Let's assume it is represented by the value CD_bar.
2. Divide the length of CD by 4 to find one-fourth of the length: CD_bar/4.
3. Starting from point C, measure CD_bar/4 units along the line CD and mark the point as E.
Based on the given information, it seems that the length of CD is not provided. Please provide the length of CD so we can calculate the position of point E accurately.
