On a farmland grid, the corner of a barn is at B(1,5)B(1, 5) and a water well is at W(9,−3)W(9, -3). A farmer wants to place a scarecrow SS so that: (i) SS lies on the dirt path represented by x=yx = y, and (ii) SS divides the line segment BWBW internally in the ratio 1:31:3 starting from BB towards WW. Which of the following are the coordinates of SS? (a) (4,4)(4, 4) (b) (5,1)(5, 1) (c) (3,3)(3, 3) (d) (6,6)(6, 6)
