SOLUTION: Segment AB has endpoints A(5,10) and B(-3,7). If the segment is extended 5 times its original length, what are the coordinates of the new end points?

Question 946454: Segment AB has endpoints A(5,10) and B(-3,7). If the segment is extended 5 times its original length, what are the coordinates of the new end points?

I'm assuming that A stays fixed and that the new B moves since you didn't specify.
To get from A to B you move units in and units in .
If you multiply that by you would get units in and units in .
Starting at A,
(,)+(,)=(,)
So the new B would be (,).
