- y = - 3
- Ratio of segments 5 : 4
=================
We have the endpoints of line segment (7, - 3) and (-2, - 3).
Since both points have same y-coordinate, the line segment is horizontal. Its length is:
The point (3, y) is on the same line segment should also have same y-coordinate, hence y = - 3.
The two line segments have lengths of:
- 7 - 3 = 4 units and
- 3 - (-2) = 5 units
The ratio of the segments from left to right is:
