Question

the line segment joining the points A (4,-5) and B (4,5) is divided by the point P such that AP/AB=2/5 Find the coordinates of P

Answer 1

AP/AB= 2/5
P is  the point in line AB
so, AP/PB = 2/3
now, Let co ordinate of P =(x,y)
x =(4×3 +4×2)/(2+3)
   =20/5 = 4
y= (-5×3 +5×2)/(2+3)
  =(-5)/5 = (-1)
so coordinates of P is (4, -1)
