Now despite what you may believe, <u>1:3 is not 1/3 in this situation.</u> In this case, it means "1 equal part to 3 equal parts", which is a total of 4 equal parts. <u>In short, this question is to place point P 1/4 the distance from A to B.</u>
Firstly, how far apart is -1 from 7 (the x-coordinates)? That would be 8 units. Multiply 1/4 by 8:
Next, how far apart is 2 from 8 (the y-coordinates)? That would be 6 units. Multiply 1/4 by 6:
Next, since from -1 to 7 you are <em>increasing</em>, add 2 to -1:
1 is your x-coordinate
Next, since from 2 to 8 you are <em>increasing</em>, add 3/2 to 2:
7/2 is your y-coordinate.
<u>Putting it together, your answer is A. (1, 7/2)</u>
