Question

Point P is located at (−2, 7) and point R is located at (1, 0). Find the y value for the point Q that is located two over three the distance from point P to point R.4.9

4.7 (i got this)

2.5

2.3

i just need halp :3 to see if im right...(i kinda guessed) o3o

Answer 1

@Juakikun @UmarsBack could u two halp meh?

i graphed it lol

Answer 10

@marrero

Answer 11

....XD

Answer 12

are you guys all as lost as i am?

Answer 13

its much easier after you already graphed it
now see the difference in y values -2 and 1

Answer 14

alright :D yay

Answer 15

\(1-(-2)=3\)
so the difference is 3
and you need the point at 2.3rd of this distance

Answer 16

well, 2/3 of 3 is just 2
so you neead a point at a distance 2 units from A (in your graph)

Answer 17

ok two units up or down? XD

Answer 18

i think its 2.5 but im noot sure ight

Answer 19

alright thanks anyway lol

Answer 20

hehe no prob

Answer 21

@hartnn what do u think?

Answer 22

instead of going through all steps, lets directly use the formula

\(\huge y= \dfrac{my_1+ny_2}{m+n}\)
here
m : n = 2:3
and y1 = 7
y2 =0

Answer 23

so \[y=3(7)+2(0) \over 3+2\] ?

Answer 24

4.7

Answer 25

@gingatheninja<3 re-calculate your answer!
