Line segment AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has endpoints A(−2,6) and B(4,−6). What are the coordinates of the point that partitions BA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ according to the part-to-part ratio 2:4? Enter your answer as an ordered pair, formatted like this: (42, 53)

Answer 1

Since you say BA, I assume that the point P is 4/6 of the way from A to B?
P = A + 2/3 (B-A)
so ,
x = -2 + 2/3 (4+2) = -2 + 4 = 2
y = -2
So, P = (2,-2)

Answer 2

thank you!!:)

Answer 3

(2, -2) is wrong I took the test
