To find the point that is 0.75 the distance from the endpoint
of the segment with endpoints
and
, we can use the concept of weighted averages.Let's denote the point we are looking for as
. Since
is 0.75 the distance from
, we can say that
is 0.25 the distance from
.Using the formula for weighted averages, we can write:
Simplifying these expressions, we get:
Therefore, the point that is 0.75 the distance from the endpoint
of the segment with endpoints
and
is
.
