Answer:
The coordinates of the point P is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let point A is at 8 and B is at 16.
P is the point where the line segment in the ratio 3 : 1.
This is also where P is rds the distance from A to B
The total distance is |16 - 8| = 8
The distance between point AB is 8 units.
of 8 is 6.
So, the point P is 6 units from A .
8 + 6 = 14
P is at 14
Hence, the coordinates of the point P is 14.
This also works if you go 1/3 from B.
-8 is 4 from -4 which is 1/3 of 12.
