What are the coordinates of the point that is 1/3 of the way from a to b?

The correct answer is B) (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, first find the difference in the x values.

5 - -1 = 6

Since the difference in values is 6 and we want to go 1/3 of the way, we can multiply 6 by 1/3

6 * 1/3 = 2

So, we know we have to go 2 away from the original x coordinate of -1.

-1 + 2 = 1

Because we now know the x-coordinate is 1, we know the answer is B. But you can do the same process to find the y-coordinate.

Find difference

6 - -3 = 9

Multiply by 1/3

9 * 1/3 = 3

Add that value to the original value

-3 + 3 = 0
