Answer:
Explanation:
To find the point that is a certain fraction of the way between two given points, we can use the midpoint formula and the scalar multiplication of vectors.
Let's first find the vector that points from point A to point B:
�
�
⃗
=
(
4
−
3
)
−
(
−
3
−
2
)
=
(
7
−
1
)
AB
=(
4
−3
)−(
−3
−2
)=(
7
−1
)
The scalar multiplication of a vector with a scalar value scales the length of the vector. To find the point that is 3/4 of the way from point A to point B, we can multiply the vector $\vec{AB}$ by 3/4:
3
4
�
�
⃗
=
3
4
(
7
−
1
)
=
(

)
4
3
AB
=
4
3
(
7
−1
)=(
4
21
−
4
3
)
Finally, we can add this vector to point A to get the point that is 3/4 of the way from point A to point B:
(
−

2
)

(
