find the coordinates of p so that p partitions segment ab in the part to whole ratio of 1 to 4 with a(-5,4) and b(7,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a(-5,4) and b(7,-4)

Required

Partition P

Given that the segment ab is divided into ratio;

The coordinates of point p can be calculated using ratio formula given below

Where m and n are the ratio; m = 1 and n = 4

So,

becomes

Hence, the coordinates of p are (-2.6,2.4)

add the table and i will answer correctly
