Question

16. Find the point that partitions AB in the ratio 1:3 from A to B if A(-4,-7) and B (12,5).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(0, 3)`

Explanation:

To split AB in the ratio 1:3, we must find the midpoint of the line AM, where M is the midpoint of AB.

`M=((-4+12)/2, (-7+5)/2)=(8/2, -2/2)=(4, -1)`

Midpoint of AM:
`((4+-4)/2, (7+-1)/2)=(0/2, 6/2)=(0, 3)`
