Find the coordinates of p so that p partitions the segment ab in the ratio 1: 1 if
a(13,1) and b(−5,−3)?
.

P(4, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 1 : 1 represents the midpoint of segment AB

Using the midpoint formula

[ 0.5(x₁ + x₂ ), 0.5(y₁ + y₂ ) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (13, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, - 3), so

P = [0.5(13 - 5), 0.5(1 - 3) ] = [0.5(8), 0.5(- 2) ] = (4, - 1 )

x=30
