Sagot :
Using proportions, it is found that the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is given by: (2.75, 1.5).
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1, hence:
L - Nv = 3/4(Ny - Nv).
This ratio is applied for both coordinates, hence, for the x-coordinate:
[tex]x + 4 = \frac{3}/{4}(5 + 4)[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{27}{4} - \frac{16}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{11}{4}[/tex]
x = 2.75.
For the y-coordinate:
[tex]y = \frac{3}/{4}(2 - 0)[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{6}{4}[/tex]
x = 1.5.
