Answer:

t=3/4

Explanation:

1• Identify that all 3 points are collinear

2• Calculate the gradient of the 2 fully given points ( = 8/3)

3• Then you calculate what t is by calculating the gradient of that half-unknowm point with any of the other fully given points.

4• While doing this you substitute in your gradient (8/3) on the left of the equal sign and the rest of the formula on the right of the equal sign

5• Cross multiply and solve for t using basic algebra
