Point L lies on PR, where point P is located at (-4,-12) and point R is located at (10,9). If PL:LR = 3:4, where is point L on PR?
Added by Christopher R.
Step 1
Find the distance between P and R using the distance formula: d = sqrt((10 - (-4))^2 + (9 - (-12))^2) = sqrt(14^2 + 21^2) = sqrt(637) ≈ 25.2 Show more…

The coordinate of point P on line l is 2 and that of Q is -4. If R is a third point on l such that P-Q-R and QR = 2, find (a) PR (b) the coordinate r of point R.
