THE CO ORDINATES OF A AND B ARE (1,2) AND (2,3) RESPECTIVELY. IF P LIES ON AB FIND CO ORDINATE OF P SUCH THAT AP/PB=4/3

Dear student
We know that the coordinates of the point Px,y which divides the line segmentjoining the points Ax1,y1 and Bx2,y2 internally in the ratio m:n is given by:mx2+nx1m+n,my2+ny1m+nHere Ax1,y1=1,2and Bx2,y2=2,3and given m:n=4:3x,y=42+314+3,43+324+3x,y=8+37,12+67x,y=117,187So, coordinates of P are 117,187
