Question

Point P lies on the line segment AB joining A(-2, -2) and B(2, -4) such that /= 3/7.Find the coordinates of point P.​

Answer 1

Answer:

----->Let P the mid point of A and B

Let the co-ordinates of P be ( x and y )

Mid point formula = x1+x2 / 2 = x ( for x)

x1 = {-2} , x2 = {2}

-------------------------> -2 + 2 / 2 = x

-------------------------> 0 = x

------> = y1 + y2 / 2 = y ( for y )

y1 = -2 , y2 = -4

-------> -2 + (-4) = y

--------> -6 = y

Hence, co-ordinates of P ( 0 , -6 )
