Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

AP/PB = 4/3

=> m1 = 4 and m2 = 3

=> (x1, y1) = (1, 2) ; (x2, y2) = (2, 3)

Using the section formula for the internal division, i.e.

(x,y) =M1.X2 +M2.X1 , M1.Y2+ M2Y1

m1+m2 m1+m2

x= 4(2)+3(1) , y = 4(3)+3(2)

4+3 4+3

x= 8+3 , y= 12+6

x= 11 , y= 18

Hence, the coordinates of P(x,y) = 11 , 18
