What is the coordinate of point P that lies along the directed line segment from Q(2, 5) to R(7, 12) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2? (3, 4.2) (4.5, 8.5) (5, 9.2) (5, 7)

(C)(5,9.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points Q(2, 5) and R(7, 12). We are to determine the coordinate of point P that lies along the directed line segment which partitions the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2.

For internal division of a line segment, the coordinate of the point which partitions the segment in the ratio m:n is given as:

m:n =3:2

Therefore:

16
