Question

Point P is located at (−2, 7), and point R is located at (1, 0). Find the y value for the point Q that is located two over three the distance from point P to point R

Answer 1

7/3

Explanation:

The distances have the ratio ...

(Q -P) = (2/3)(R -P)

Q = P +(2/3)R -(2/3)P = (2R +P)/3

Qy = (2Ry +Py)/3 = (2·0 +7)/3 = 7/3
