Question

2. If the coordinates of points A and B are (-2,-2) and (2,-4) respectively, find the
Coordinates of P such that AP=3/7AB,
Where P lies on the line segment AB​

Answer 1

(-2/7,-20/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Take ratio of AP:BP=3:4

m1=3 AND m2=4

THEN PUT SECTION FORMULA

x= (m1x2+m2x1)/m1+m2 where x1=-2 and x2=2

y=(m1y2+m2y1)/m1+m2 where y1=-2 and y2=-4

then for x by putting all values we get -2/7

and for y we get-20/7
