Find the coordinates of the point P that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio.
1 answer:
Answer:
P ( -1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)
We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB
in the following way:
xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1
xp = -1
yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3
yp = -3
Point P( -1, -3)

Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
I promise it's right
P = kq/r
5 = k*1/2
k = 2*5 = 10
p = 5*10/50 = 1
P is 1.
