Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
 collinear.

Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
   = 8.9443

Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
   = 4.4721

Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.

Answer:  2:1 ratio.

elixir [45]
Remember \sqrt{ \frac{x}{y} } = \frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{y} }
and
\sqrt{ab^2} =b \sqrt{a}
\sqrt{ \frac{32}{5} } = \frac{ \sqrt{(4^2)(2)} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{5} }
times whoe thing by \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} }
\frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5}
