For the line segment whose endpoints are l(0, 1 and m(2, 8, find the y value for the point located 3 over 5 the distance from l to m.

We are given with the endpoints  l(0, 1) and m(2, 8). y is said to be 3/5 of the total length between l and m. in this case, we take the 3/5 of the difference of both x's and  y's. the x-coordinate of x is 6/5 while the y-coordinate of y is equal to 21/5. hence the final coordiates of y is (6/5 , 21/5)

This does not make sense
