So the point P is 3/5 of the distance from J to K (starting at J).
\n" ); document.write( "Find the x distance,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4-2=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 5,
\n" ); document.write( "\"dx=2%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now move 3 x divisions from J,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5BP%5D=2%2B3%282%2F5%29=2%2B6%2F5=10%2F5%2B6%2F5=16%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Similarly for y,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=19-5=14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"dy=14%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5BP%5D=5%2B14%2F5=25%2F5%2B14%2F5=39%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the point P is
\n" ); document.write( "(\"16%2F5\",\"39%2F5\")
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
