Find the coordinates of p so that p partitions segment ab in the ratio 1 to 3 with a(-5,4) and b(7,-4).

Answer

The coordinates of the point P are (-2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

Where   and is the desired ratio. On our case we have . Then replacing in the formula we have

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.
