Given the points A(-1<span>, 2) and B(7, 8), </span>determine<span> the coordinates of point P on directed line </span>segment<span> that </span>partitions<span> in the </span><span>ratio 1</span>/3<span>. Solution: Method </span>1<span>: A </span>1/3 ratio<span> divides the </span>segment into 1<span> + 3 = </span>4<span> equal parts. The direction is from A to B, so use the </span>ratio k<span> from A/P which is </span>1/4<span> of the line </span>segment<span>. Hope this helps
