8. If A and B are (– 2, – 2) and (2, – 4), respectively, find the coordinates of P such that AP =(3/7) AB and P lies on the line segment AB.

AP =(3/7) AB

means AP = [3/ (3+4)] AB

 

so that P divides AB internally in the ratio 3:4 [draw a rough figure]

 

using section formula for internal division

3 : 4 = m1 : m2

(–2, -2)=(x1,y1)

(2, –4)=(x2,y2)

 

P = [    { 3(2)+4(-2) }/{3+4}  ,{  3(-4) +4(-2) } / {3+4} ]

P = ( (-2)/7,  (-20)/7 )

 

9. Find the coordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining

 A(– 2, 2) and B(2, 8) into four equal parts. 

let the required points be P, Q, R respectively

These points divide AB internally in the ratio 1:3 , 2:2 , 3:1 respectively

 {draw a rough figure}

 

To find P

1 : 3 = m1 : m2

(–2, 2)=(x1,y1)

(2, 8)=(x2,y2)

 

P = [ { 1(2)+3(-2) }  / {1+3} , {1(8)+3(2)}/{1+3}  ]

P= ( -1 , (7/2) )

To find Q

2 : 2  or  1:1 = m1 : m2

(–2, 2)=(x1,y1)

(2, 8)=(x2,y2)

 

Q = [ { 1(2)+1(-2) }  / {1+1} , {1(8)+1(2)}/{1+1}  ]

Q=( 0 , 5)

 

To find R

3 : 1 = m1 : m2

(–2, 2)=(x1,y1)

(2, 8)=(x2,y2)

 

R = [ { 3(2)+1(-2) }  / {3+1} , {3(8)+1(2)}/{3+1}  ]

R =( 1 , 13/2 )
