Find the coordinates of a point P, which lies on the line segment joining the points A(-2,-3) and B(2. -4) such that AP=`3/7`AB.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the co-ordinates of P is` (x,y)` which divides the line `AB`
`AP = 3/7 AB given`
`:. PB= AB – AP`
`:. PB = AB – 3/7 AB`
`:. PB = 4/7 AB`
`AP : PB = 3/7 AB : 4/7 AB`
`:. AP : PB =3:4`
