Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB so that AP to PB is the given ratio. A(10, 8), B(18, 12); 1 to 3

The coordinates of P are (12,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

We are given the endpoints of the segment AB: A(10,8) B(18,12).

It's required to find the coordinates of point P(x,y) along the segment AB such that:

The ratio of the distances is the same as the ratio of their respective coordinates:

Since

Then:

Multiplying by 3 (18-x):

3( x - 10 )= 18 - x

3x - 30 = 18 - x

Adding x and 30:

4x = 48

x = 12

Similarly:

Multiplying by 3 (12-y):

3( y - 8 ) = 12 - y

3y - 24 = 12 - y

Adding y and 24:

4y = 36

y = 9

The coordinates of P are (12,9)

step-by-step explanation:

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%
