Q14 of 46 Page 1

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


 



 



 



 



 



 


Hence P divides AB in 3 : 4


 


Using section formula


 


i.e. the coordinates of the points P(x, y) which divides the line segment joining the points A(x1, y1) and B(x2,y2), internally in the ratio m : n are =


 


We have
