On the graph of the line y=2x-4 , point A has x-value 1. Point P is on AB so that distance AP is half of distance BP. B is in quadrant I and has coordinates (k, 6). B and P are collinear. What is the x-coordinate of P
The x-coordinate of point B is 5.0.
Given this, and using the formula to find the x-coordinate of point P with the line segment AB divided in the ratio 1:2, we find that the x-coordinate of point P is approximately 2.33
