Question

Find the coordinates of the point that lies one fourth of the way from (-10,6) to (0,-2)

Answer 1

find the length (L)

and use it as a ruler

Answer 2

-10 6
0 2
------
-10 8

100+64 .... lngth = sqrt(164)

Answer 3

hmmm, i wonder

a full slope is -8/10

if we divide those by 4 we should get 1/4 of the slope

-8/4 = -2
10/4 = 5/2

use the staring point and add this modified slope to it

-10 6
5/2 -2
-----------
-15/2 4

maybe
