Question

My teacher gave me this for geometry and I don’t know how to do it if anyone could. Could you do this give me answer and brief explanation

Answer 1

The coordiantes of point P are

`P(-2,5)`

and the coordinates of point R are

`R(1,-7)`

The point Q lies somewhere between P and R

What we know this that the ratio is

`(PQ)/(QR)=(2)/(1)`

This means the vertical distance (and likewise the horizontal distance) of Q from P is 2/3 the whole distance from P to R

The vertical distance from P to R is

`5--7=12`

and the horizontal distance is

`1--2=3`

2/3 0f these distance gives
