Find the x distance from R to S.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the y distance from R to S.
\n" ); document.write( "Then break up the length in 2/3 and 1/3.
\n" ); document.write( "X distance : \"%2815-%28-6%29%29=21\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%2921=14\", \"%281%2F3%2921=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Y distance : (-5-19)=-24.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29%28-24%29=-16\", \"%281%2F3%29%28-24%29=-8\".
\n" ); document.write( "So you can start from R and add (2/3) of the distance or start at S and subtract (1/3) distance.
\n" ); document.write( "You'll get the same answer.
\n" ); document.write( "I'll start at R.
\n" ); document.write( "\"X%5BP%5D=+-6%2B14=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y%5BP%5D=19-16=3\"
