Point G is located at (3, −1), and point H is located at (−2, 3). Find the x value for the point that is 2 over 3 the distance from point G to point H.

x=(1−λ)∗3+λ∗(−2)|xg=3andxh=−2if λ=0⇒x=(1−0)∗3+0∗(−2)=3=xgif λ=1⇒x=(1−1)∗3+1∗(−2)=−2=xhif λ=23⇒x=(1−23)∗3+23∗(−2)⇒x=13∗3−43⇒x=−13
Notice that the distance between x values is just 3- (-2) = 5
And (2/3) of this is just 10/3
And we want 2/3 of the distance from G to H.
So, 3 - 10/3 = 9/3 - 10/3 = -1/3 and that's the value of the x coordinate that is 2/3 of the distance from G to H.
