Question

Point A is located at (8,6) and point B is located at (-3,0). Point C is between points A and B such that AC= 1/4 AB. What are the coordinates of point C?

Answer 1

you have a pic for that

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

ok let me try to figure it out

Answer 4

brb

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

So basically the distance between A and C is 1/4th the distance of A and B.

Answer 7

Whoops, meant to have a question mark.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Well what is the distance between 8 and -3? What is the distance between 6 and 0?

Answer 10

I think you'd gain a lot by graphing this problem before trying to solve it.

Answer 11

11 and 6?

Answer 12

Correct. So what is 11/4 and 6/4?

Answer 13

?

Answer 14

11 divided by 4 and 6 divided by 4?

Answer 15

2.75 and 3/2

Answer 16

2.75 = 11/4

Answer 17

Well 3/2 = 1.5 so let's go from there. So if you haven't figured it out, (2.75,1.5) is 1/4th the distance from A to B. So all you have to do is \[\large \sf ((8-2.75),(6-1.5))\] to get your answer.

Answer 18

21/4 and 9/2 tnx

Answer 19

Well put formally it would be (5.25,4.5) but yes. and no problem :)

Answer 20

yeah, but i have to put my answers in fractions

Answer 21

Oh ok, well either way have a good night and good luck with your homework.

Answer 22

ty gn!
