To find a point on the line through \( A(5, -4) \) and \( B(-3, 2) \) that is twice as far from \( A \) as from \( B \), we can use the section formula. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio We are given that the distance from point \( P \) to point \( A \) is twice the distance from point \( P \) to point \( B \). This can be expressed as: \[ \frac{PA}{PB} = 2 \] This implies that \( PA = 2 \cdot PB \). ...
