Answer:

The point x would be at (-0.25, 1)

Explanation:

To find the values, start by just looking at a single coordinate. We'll focus on x first.

The first step would be finding the difference between the two x values.

1 - -4 = 5

Now we take the distance they are apart and divide by 4.

5/4 = 1.25

Now we can take this and subtract it from the x value in c.

1 - 1.25 = -0.25

This will be the x-coordinate of the point x. Now we can follow all of these same steps for y.

2 - -2 = 4

4/4 = 1

2 - 1 = 1
