Question

What are the coordinates of the point P in the xy-plane that divides the line segment whose endpoints are A(-2, 9) and B(7, 3) into two segments such that the ratio of AP to PB is 1 to 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

P(1,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

using section formula :

P(x,y) = (1)(7)+(2)(-2)/1+2 ,(1)(3)+(2)(9)/1+2

x= 7-4/3 = 1

y= 3+18/3 = 7

Ans. P(1,7)
