heard of "section formula" before ?

keana · Answer

no

ganeshie8 · Answer

wat about "midpoint formula" ?

keana · Answer

no

ganeshie8 · Answer

just take average of "y" coordinates, that gives u midpoint

ganeshie8 · Answer

(2, −3) and  (−2, −1)
     ^^                 ^^

ganeshie8 · Answer

"y" coordinate of midpoint =  (-3-1)/2 = -4/2 = -2

ganeshie8 · Answer

that lies HALF the distance between given points.
but u want the point that lies at 3/4 distance between given points, right ?

keana · Answer

ok
