Answer:
(3+43×(2)+4×(−2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:- A line segment joining the points A(−2,−2) and B(2,−4). P is a point on AB such that AP=73AB.
Now,
AP=73AB(Given)
7AP=3(AP+BP)
7AP=3AP+3BP
⇒7AP−3AP=3BP
⇒BPAP=43
Therefore,
Point P divides AB internally in the ratio 3:4.
As we know that if a point (h,k) divides a line joining the point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in the ration m:n, then coordinates of the point is given as-
(h,k)=(m+nmx2+nx1,m+nmy2+ny1)
Therefore,
Coordinates of P= (3+43×(2)+4×(−2),
