Question 1063647
Find the x distance from {{{P[1]}}} to {{{P[2]}}}.
{{{x=8-(-4)=12}}}
Divide this up into 4 equal sections.
{{{dx=12/4=3}}}
So then the x distance from {{{P[1]}}} to {{{R]}} is 3 of these equal sections,
Starting at {{{P[1]}}},
{{{x[R]=-4+3(3)=-4+9=5}}}
Similarly for the y distance,
Find the y distance from {{{P[1]}}} to {{{P[2]}}}.
{{{y=3-(-1)=4}}}
Divide this up into 4 equal sections.
{{{dy=4/4=1}}}
So then the y distance from {{{P[1]}}} to {{{R]}} is 3 of these equal sections,
Starting at {{{P[1]}}},
{{{y[R]=-1+3(1)=-1+3=2}}}
So the coordinates of {{{R}}} are (5,2).
