Question

Point E is located at (2, −3) and point F is located at (−2, −1). Find the y value for the point that is 3/4 the distance from point E to point F.

a. 1.75

b. 0.5

c. −2

d. −1.5

Answer 1

To solve this we take "y" values of both E and F points. they are -3 and -1 respectively.

The "y" distance from E to F is:
-3 - (-1) = -3 + 1 = -2

now to find 3/4 of this we do:
-2*3/4 = -1.5

Finaly we subtract this value from -3 (because we start from point E) and we get:
-3 - ( -1.5) = -1.5

Answer is D.
