Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from Q to S is 2 - (-14), or 16.
We start at point Q. Note how 3 and 5 add up to 8, which allows us to write:
R = Q + (3/8)(16), or R = -14 + 6, or R = -8.
From R to S it is (5/8)(16), or 10 units.
The directed line segment is partitioned into segments of lengths 6 and 10, whose combined length is 16, as expected.
