A line segment can be divided into ratios.
<em>The coordinate of P on line segment AB is (5,1)</em>
Given
The position of P from A to B is:
So, from P to B would be:
So, the ratio is:
Simplify
<u>The coordinate of point P is:</u>
So, we have:
<em>Hence, the coordinate of P is (5,1)</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is negative reciprocal when two lines are perpendicular
m1=1/2 therefore m2=-2
The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as
Here m=-2 and (x1, y1)=(-3, -1)
Therefore,
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):
1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.
2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.
Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).
