find the coordinates of the indicates point in xy plane. one-third of the distance from (2,3) to (5,9)
+23245 If you want a point that is one-third of the way from (2, 3) to (5, 9), it will have to be one-third of the way in the x-direction and one-third of the way in the y-direction.
In the x-direction: the distance from 2 to 5 is 3; one-third of 3 is 1; adding 1 to 2 (the beginning x-value), answer = 3.
In the y-direction: the distance from 3 to 9 is 6; one-third of 6 is 2; adding 2 to 3 (the beginning y-value), answer = 5.
The location of the point on-third of the way from (2, 3) to (5, 9) is (3, 5).
