Find the coordinates of P along the directed line segment AB so that the ratio of AP to PB is 3:2. In order to divide the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2, think of dividing the segment into 3 + 2 or 5 congruent pieces.
A(3, 4), B(6, 10); 3 to 2. To find the coordinates of point P… a: b:
Example 1: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB so that AP to PB is the given ratio. A(1, 3), B(8, 4); 4 : 1. a: b:
Example 2: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB so that AP to PB is the given ratio. A(-2, 1), B(4, 5); 3 to 7. a: b:
Example 3: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB so that AP to PB is the given ratio. A(8, 0), B(3, -2); 1 : 4. a: b:
Example 4: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB so that AP to PB is the given ratio. A(-2, -4), B(6, 1); 3 to 2. a: b:
