Point (2, 6) is 23 2 3 of the way from A to B. If A has coordinates (–8, 6), what are the coordinates of B?

Question

What are the coordinates of b

Answer 1

A (-8,6) 2/3 of AB is (2,6)

if A is 2/3 of the way from A to B

then

B is (7, 6)

(2--8)=10 = 2/3 of AB

3/3 of AB = 15

from the A to B is (-8+15,6) = (7,6)

they're 3 points on a straight line, all with y coordinate = 6
