Question

Determine a point 1:3 the distance from P to A given P(-5,5) and A(10,2)​

Answer 1

Write 2.1 + 6-1

Answer 2

(0, 4)

Explanation:

The x-coordinate of the point 1/3 of the distance from P to A:

x = (10 − (-5)) / 3 + (-5)

x = 15/3 − 5

x = 0

The y-coordinate of the point 1/3 of the distance from P to A:

y = (2 − 5) / 3 + 5

y = -3/3 + 5

y = 4

The point is (0, 4).
