Hope it helps u

Answer 2

Answer:

(2/7, -22/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are---

A(-2,-2) and B(2,-4)

Now,

AP = 4/7 AB

=> AP/AB = 4/7

=> AB/AP = 7/4

=> AB/AP - 1 = 7/4 - 1

=> (AB - AP) /AP = (7-4)/4

=> PB/AP = 3/4

=> AP:AB = 4:3

Point P divides the line segment AB in the ratio 4:3

Therefore,

Coordinates of P = [{4×2 + 3×(-2)}/(4+3) , {4×(-4) + 3×(-2)}/(4+3)]

= {(8-6)/7 , (-16-6)/7}

= (2/7, -22/7)

According to your question the answer is (2/7, -22/7) .

But I guess the question is wrong. It should be AP=3/7AB
