Given:
A(-2,0) and B(0,8)
and 4AP = AB
⇒AP=AB
If we will visualize this on a line It will look like this:
____p(x,y)____________B(0,8)
A(-2,0)
clearly P is diving AB in the ratio 1:3
(as we have 4 parts of AB)
so, m1:m2 = 1:3
to find:
coordinates of P
Solution:
Let, the required Point be in the form P(x,y).
now,
x1= -2 , y1 = 0
x2= 0 , y2 = 8
x = x , y = y
m1 = 1 , m2 = 3
Now , by section Formula ,we get:-
First solving for x:
Substituting the values
[value of x]
Now solving for y:
substituting the values
[value of y]
therefore the required point P will be
P(-3/2 , 2)
