Question

P lies on a line segment AB and AP=3/4AB
A is at (5,4) and B is at (-3,-2).
Find the coordinates of p.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:- A line segment joining the points A(−2,−2) and B(2,−4). P is a point on AB such that AP=

7

AB.

Now,

AP=

7

3

AB(Given)

7AP=3(AP+BP)

7AP=3AP+3BP

⇒7AP−3AP=3BP

⇒

BP

AP

=

3

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 (x

) and (x

,y

) in the ration m:n, then coordinates of the point is given as-

(h,k)=(

Therefore,

Coordinates of P=(

Hence, the coordinates of P are (
