Question

Given A(-3, 6) and B(0, 6), what are the coordinates of point P that lies on segment AB, such that AP:PB = 2:1? A: (2, -2) B: (-2, 0) C: (-1, 6) D: (-1, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

(-1 1/2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point between A(-3,6) and B(0,6) represents the coordinates of point P, which is (x,y)

Hence,the coordinates, that is, AP: x = (-3 + 0)/2 = -3/2 = -1 1/2

also, BP: y = (6 + 6)/2 = 6

Therefore, the coordinates of point P = ( -1 1/2, 6)
