Line segment A has endpoints A(1,8) and B(7,−4). What are the coordinates of the point located 5/6 of the way from A to B?

Answer 1

take 5/6 of the difference in x values and add that to 1. 7-1= 6 5/6 of 6 = 5. 5+1 = 6

do the same for the y values: -4-8 = -12 5/6 x -12 = -10 add -10 to 8 = -2

the point is (6,-2)
