The x coordinate is 4/5 of the way from 4 to 9, and that distance is 5, so the x coordinate is at 8.
\n" ); document.write( "The y coordinate is 4/5 of the way from 1 to 13, and that distance is 12, so the y coordinate is 48/5 or 9.6 of the way or at 10.6
\n" ); document.write( "(8,10.6) is the coordinate.
\n" ); document.write( "Distance from A is sqrt ((8-4)^2+(10.6-1)^2)= sqrt (16+92.16)=sqrt (108.16)=10.4 units
\n" ); document.write( "Distance from B is sqrt ((9-8)^2+(13-10.6)^2=sqrt(1+5.76)=sqrt(6.76)=2.6 units
\n" ); document.write( "Total distance is sqrt (12^2+5^2)=13
\n" ); document.write( "10.4 is 4/5 of the way to 13.
