Answer:

Therefore the co-ordinate of the point A is (-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂)  is divided by a point in ration m:n internally.

Then the co-ordinate of the point is  (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_2}{m+n}).

Given two points are P(-7,-5) and Q(5,3).

A point A on PQ, that divides PQ into a ratio of 1:3.

Since the point A lies on the PQ.

Therefore it divides the line segment PQ internally.

Here x₁= -7,y₁= -5 ,  x₂= 5,y₂ =3, m=1,n=3

Therefore the co-ordinate of the point A is

(\frac{5.1+(-7).3}{1+3},\frac{3.1+(-5).3}{1+3})

=(\frac{-16}{4},\frac{-12}{4})

=(-4,-3)
