Question

the line segment joining A(4,2)and B(12,-6) is divided by the point P so that 5AP=3BP find the co=ordinates of P

Answer 1

Answer:

compare the following rational numbers by making like terms 6/-11and -7/12

Answer 2

AP/BP

3:5

The co ordinate of P

X= mx2+nx1/m+n

X= 3×12+3×4/3+5

X= 36+12/8

X=48/8

X= 6

Y = my2+ny1/m+n

Y = 3×(-6)+ 5×2/3+5

Y= -18+10/8

Y= -8/8

Y= -1

Therefore the co ordinate of P(6,-1)
