Given the points A(-1, 2) and B(7, 8), determine the coordinates of point P on directed line segment that partitions in the ratio 1/3. Solution: Method 1: A 1/3 ratio divides the segment into 1 + 3 = 4 equal parts. The direction is from A to B, so use the ratio k from A/P which is 1/4 of the line segment. Hope this helps
