Question

Can someone check if i got this correct?

Answer 1

Point G is located at (3, −1) and point H is located at (−2, 3). Find the x value for the point that is 2 over 3 the distance from point G to point H.

1.5

−0.33

−0.5

6.33 <--- my answer?

Answer 2

shouldn't the x value be between 3 and -2 ?

Answer 3

you did 3+10/3, right ?
try 3-10/3 :)

Answer 4

i'm not sure how to do it can you please explain it a little further?

Answer 5

sure,
difference in x-co-ordinates will be
\(\Large 3- (-2) = 5\)
right ?

and we need 2/3rd of this distance

Answer 6

so, your x value should lie at \(2/3\times 5 = 10/3\) distance from G

Answer 7

yes i know that part just not the next one

Answer 8

yes and i got 3.33

Answer 9

and since it need to be in the middle of these points, we do
3-10/3
