Answer:
The coordinates of point p are (6,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the coordinates of point P that partitions the segment AB into the ratio 2 to 1
To calculate this, we use the internal division formula;
(x,y) = (mx2 + nx1/(m + n) , my2 + ny1/(m+ n))
(x1,y1) = (2,3)
(x2,y2) = (8,0)
(m,n) = (2,1)
Substituting these values, we have;
(x,y) = (2(8) + 1(2)/(2+1) , (2(0) + 1(3)/(2+1))
(x , y) = 18/3 , 3/3 = (6,1)
