Question

A has coordinates (0,10), and B has coordinates (6.2).
P is on the line segment AB.
The distance from P to A is half the distance from P to B.
Find the coordinates of P.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of point A(−2,−2) and B(2,−4) and point P divided AB as AP=

3/7AB

Then BP= 4/7

$P=(3+43×2−2×4,3+4−4×32×4)=(76−8,7−12−8)=(−72,−720)$

So point P divided AB in ratio 3:4

m=3 and n=4

Using Section formula, coordinates of point P are
