Question

Find the point that is one-fourth of the way (2,4) to (10,8)

Answer 1

Answer: (3, 9)

Explanation:

One fourth of the way, remaining distance is three fourth.

`= ((x _(1) + x_(2) )/(4) ,\: (3(y_(1) + y_(2)))/(4) )`

substitute:

`= ( (2 + 10)/(4) , \: 3((4 + 8)/(4) )) \\ \\ = ( (12)/(4) , \: (36)/(4) ) \\ \\ = (3, \: 9)`
