Answer:
The coordinates of point A and B are (-2,-2) and (2,-4) respectively.
Since AP = 3/7 AB.
Therefore, AP:PB = 3:4.
Point P divides the line segment AB in the ratio 3:4.
Coordinates of P = ([3 * 2 + 4 * (-2)]/3 + 4, [3 * (-4) + 4 * 2]/3 + 4)
==> [(6 - 8)/7, (-12 - 8)/7]
==> (-2/7,-20/7)
Hence, coordinates are (-2/7,-20/7)
