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
2.5
2.3

Answer 1

I think it's 2.3.

Answer 2

Could someone please check?

Answer 3

P = (-2, 7) and R = (1, 0)
A point that is 2/3 of the distance PR from P will be at:
-2 + (1-(-2)) * 2/3 , 7 + (0-7) * 2/3
They are asking only for the y-coordinate.
We just need to calculate: 7 + (0-7) * 2/3 = 7 - 14/3 = (21 - 14) / 3 = 7/3 = 2.3
so yep your correct

Answer 4

Thank you!
