Answer 5

you say ' the point that is the distance' which does not make sense - something must go into the blank space.

Answer 6

ohhh sorry
right between "that is" and "the distance" is 3/4

Answer 7

I'm trying to remember the formula..

the line is divided in the ratio 3:1

so the y coorddinate = 3(-1) + 1(-3)
-----------
1 + 3
