Find the coordinates of the point three tenths of the way from A to B. A= (-4,-8) b= (9,4)

To find the coordinates of the point that is three tenths of the way from point A to point B, you can use the formula for finding a point on a line segment between two points:

P = A + t(B - A)

where:

• P is the point you're trying to find,
• A and B are the given points,
• t is the fraction of the distance from A to B (in this case, t = 0.3).

First, calculate the difference between the coordinates of points B and A:

B - A = (9 - (-4), 4 - (-8)) = (13, 12)

Then, multiply these differences by t:

t(B - A) = 0.3 * (13, 12) = (3.9, 3.6)

Finally, add these results to the coordinates of point A:

P = A + t(B - A) = (-4 + 3.9, -8 + 3.6) = (-0.1, -4.4)

So, the coordinates of the point three tenths of the way from A to B are (-0.1, -4.4).
