Question

determine the coordinates of the point one-wighth of the way from point (a,b) to point (c,d).

Answer 1

I assume you mean *one-eighth* of the way from point (a,b) to point (c,d).

The directional vector from point (a,b) to point (c,d) is:


The point you want is:

(a,b) + (1/8) = [(7a+c)/8, (7b+d)/8]
