Question

find the coordinates of a point p on the line segment A(1,2) B(6,7) in such a way that AP =2/5 AB.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let coordinate of point P= ( x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

then AP = 2/5AB, it become in underoot so we write as (x- 1)2 + ( y- 2)2 = 4/25 (6-1)2+(7-2)2 , x2 +1 - 2x + y2 +4 - 4y = 4/25 × 25× 25 ,then solve it
