GEOMETRY HONORS

6. What are the coordinates of the point 2/3 of the way from P to Q?

7. What is the length of PQ (with the line on top of PQ) ?

8 A chair lift at a ski resort travels along the cable as shown. How long is the cable? round your answer to the nearest whole foot.

Answer 1

Answer: Please tell us the coordinates of points P and Q. To find fraction distance you would count the number of steps (from p) right and up to point Q. Then label it like this:

x = _

x move = _ *2/3

y = _

y move = _ *2/3

Then you would physically count the points to get the 2/3 point of the line segment. Hope this helps.
