Question

Coordinates of points A and B are (-2,-2) and (2,-4) respectively . Find coordinates of point P lying on line segment AB such that AP = 3/7AB​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AP=3/7AB

So, 7AP=3AB

Let the coordinates of P be (X,Y)

Now apply distance formula ,

7($\sqrt{(-2+X)^{2}+(-2+Y)^{2}  }$)=3($\sqrt{(2+X)^{2} +(-4+Y)^{2} }$)

and then solve the equation,
