Using line segments, it is found that:
- The coordinates of Q are (5,7.8).
- The midpoint of segment PQ is M(6,9).
----------------------------
- Point P is located at (1,3).
- Point R is located at (11,15).
- Point Q is located at (x,y).
- PQ:QR = 2:3, which means that:
This is used to find the x and y coordinates of Q.
----------------------------
- The <em>x-coordinate</em> of P is 1.
- The <em>x-coordinate</em> of R is 11.
- The <em>x-coordinate </em>of Q is x.
Thus:
----------------------------
- The y<em>-coordinate</em> of P is 3.
- The y<em>-coordinate</em> of R is 15.
- The y<em>-coordinate </em>of Q is y.
Thus:
The coordinates of Q are (5,7.8).
----------------------------
- The midpoint of segment PQ is the mean of the coordinates, thus:
The midpoint of segment PQ is M(6,9).
