Answer:

ANSWER 4:3

Explanation:

Given : A point P is 4/7 of the distance from M to N.

∴ Let the distance between M to N be d.

Also, the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N .

Thus , MN = MP+PN

Now, the ration of MP to PN will be :-

∴ Point P partitioned the line segment MN into 4:3.
