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:

P(x, y) = (-1, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required point be P(x, y)

AP = 3AB/4

AP/AB = 3/4

AP: PB = m: n = 3: 1

x1 = 5, y1 = 4, x2 = -3, y2 = -2

P(x, y) = [(mx2 + nx1)/ m + n; (my2 + ny1)/ m + n]

          = [(-9 + 5)/4; (-6+4)/4]

          = (-4/4; -2/4)

P(x, y) = (-1, -1/2)

Answer 2

Answer:

co ordinates of p (-1, -1/2)
