Find the point of the line passing through P1(3,5) and P2(-2,-4) and which is
\n" ); document.write( " a.) twice as far from P1 as from P2.
\n" ); document.write( " b.) three times as far from P2 as from P1.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Not clear what \"point of the line\" means.
\n" ); document.write( "If you mean point on the line:
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate x & y separately.
\n" ); document.write( "P1(3,5) and P2(-2,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "For x:
\n" ); document.write( "dx = -5
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 of -5 = -10/3
\n" ); document.write( "3 - 10/3 = -1/3
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "For y:
\n" ); document.write( "dy = -9
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 = -6
\n" ); document.write( "5 -6 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "--> (-1/3,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "==================
\n" ); document.write( " b.) three times as far from P2 as from P1.
\n" ); document.write( "That's 1/4 of the distance from P1.
\n" ); document.write( "Do it like the 1st one. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
