Line segment AB has endpoints A(7, 4) and B(2, 5). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from A to B in the ratio of 1:3
The coordinates of point Y(name this point Y) can be found by: (x1+γx21+γ,y1+γy21+γ), where gamma(γ) is the ratio of the coordinates(1:3).
(7+13∗21+13,4+13∗51+13)=(234,174).
