Question

If the coordinates of points A and B are (-2, -2) and (2, -4) respectively. Find the coordinates of the point P such that AP= 3/7 AB, where P lies on the segment AB.

Answer 1

The coordinates of the points A and B are (-2, -2) and (2, -4) respectively, where AP = 3/7 AB and P lies on the line segment AB. So

Let (x, y) be the coordinates of P which divides AB in the ratio 3 : 4 internally Then
