Question

Govern about with a(8,-4). And b (-6,-11), if p partitions ab such with that the ratio of ap to ab is 2:7, find the coordinates of p.

Answer 1

what the heck does "Govern about " mean?

You want P to be 2/9 of the way from A to B.
P = A + 2/7 (B-A) = (8,-4) + 2/7 (-6-8,-11+4) = (8,-4) + (-4,-2) = ...
