The coordinate of point P so that P partitions segment AB in the part-to-whole ratio of 1 to 5 is [tex](-\frac{22}3, \frac{23}6)[/tex]

How to determine the coordinates of P?

The given parameters are:

A = (-9,3)

B = (1, 8)

m : n = 1 : 5

The coordinate of point P is then calculated using:

[tex]P = \frac{1}{m + n} (mx_2+nx_1,my_2+ny_1)[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]P = \frac{1}{1 + 5} (1 * 1 + 5 * -9, 1 * 8 + 5 * 3)[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]P = \frac{1}{6} (-44, 23)[/tex]

Evaluate the product

[tex]P = (-\frac{22}3, \frac{23}6)[/tex]

Hence, the coordinate of point P is [tex](-\frac{22}3, \frac{23}6)[/tex]
