Step-by-step explanation:
P ( 1, 1 )
B (-1 , -1 )
Let A ( x,y)
P ( 5 (-1) + 2x /7 5 (-1) + 2y / 7
-5 + 2x / 7 = 1
2x = 7+5
x= 6
and
-5 +2y /7 = 1
2y = 7+5
y= 6
Point A have coordinates ( 6,6)
Hope it helps you

GIVEN THAT:-
The line segment AB is divided at P(1,1) internally in the ratio 5:2 and co ordinates of point B are (-1,-1)
FORMULA:-
If a line segment AB { A ( x1,y1) and B ( x2,y2) } is divided at P point(x,y) internally in the ratio of m:n then the co ordinator of point p is
SOLUTION;
Line segment AB
coordinates of P = (1,1)
Ratio = 5:2
coordinates of Point B = (–1,–1)
Let Coordinate of point A = (x,y)
using the formula
x ordinate of point A
y ordinate of point A
• Now the coordinate of point A = (6,6)
