Question

Find the point that is one-fourth of the way from P(1,4) to Q(-7,8)

Answer 1

Hint: Find the midpoint between P and Q. Call this point M


Now find the midpoint between P and M to find this point.

Answer 2

Midpoint of P and Q is point "M" (-3,6), now the midpoint between P and M is point 'N' (-1,5).

The point (-1,5) is one-fourth of the way from P to Q.
