Given the points A(2,4) and B(5,8), find the coordinates of the point P on the directed line segment AB that partitions it in the ratio of 1:2

Question

Please show how, thank you.

Answer 1

x coordinate of P will be 1/3 of the way between the x coordinate of A (2) and the x coordinate of B (5), which would be 3

y-coordinate of P will be 1/3 of the way between the y coordinate of A (4) and the y coordinate of B (8), which will be 5.33.
