Question

On a coordinate plane, a graph shows Street on the x-axis and Avenue on the y-axis. A line is drawn from Tia to Lei. Tia is at (4, 8) and Lei is at (12, 20). Tia lives at the corner of 4th Street and 8th Avenue. Lei lives at the corner of 12th Street and 20th Avenue. The fruit market is Three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home.

Answer 1

Answer:

(10, 17)

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to explain with a picture or drawing, but I am new to this, so I would try using words.

Assuming the fruit market is on that straight line from Tia's home to Lei's, So we look at both address (coordinates)

From Tia to Lei, x coordinate is from 4 to 12, that's increased by 8, divide by 4, one step is 2.

y coordinate is from 8 to 20, an increase of 12, divide by 4 again, one step is 3.

The fruit market is at 3/4 distance, so 3 steps, on both x and y coordinates.

x: 4+6 = 10

y: 8+9=17
