Question 585625: Find the point that is one-fourth of the way from (2,4) to (10,8)
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, find the midpoint between (2, 4) and (10, 8)

Midpoint: ( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 )

Midpoint: ( (2+10)/2, (4+8)/2 )

Midpoint: ( 12/2, 12/2 )

Midpoint: ( 6, 6 )

So the midpoint between (2, 4) and (10, 8) is ( 6, 6 )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Now find the midpoint between (2, 4) and ( 6, 6 )

Midpoint: ( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 )

Midpoint: ( (2+6)/2, (4+6)/2 )

Midpoint: ( 8/2, 10/2 )

Midpoint: ( 4, 5 )

So the midpoint between (2, 4) and (6, 6) is (4, 5)

=======================================================
Answer:

So the the point that is one-fourth of the way from (2,4) to (10,8) is (4, 5)
