Let ab be the directed line segment beginning at point a(2 , 4) and ending at point b(17 , 17). find the point p on the line segment that partitions the line segment into the segments ap and pb at a ratio of 5: 1. a. b. c. d.

Thus, the answer is (14.5, 14.83).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that A(2, 4) and B(17, 17) are the end points of a directed line segment AB . We are find the point P on the line segment AB which divides it in the ratio AP : PB = 5 : 1. See the attached figure.

The co-ordinates of point P will be

Therefore, the co-ordinates of point P are (14.5, 4.83).

Thus, the answer is (14.5, 14.83).
