(1) (a) Let P be (x,y)
x = [(-6)(1) + (3)(2)]/(1 + 2) = 0/3 = 0
y = [(17(1) + (-1)(2)]/(1 + 2) = 15/3 = 5. P is (0,5)
(b)
x = [(-6)(5) + 3(4)]/(4 + 5) = - 18/9 = - 2
y = [17(5) + (-1)(4)]/(4 + 5) = 81/9 = 9. P is (-2, 9).
(2)
(a) The y - coordinate of P is zero. Let AP : PB = r : s. So
0 = [(-6)(s) + 15(r)]/(r + s)
0 = - 6s + 15r
6s = 15r
r/s = r : s = 6/15 = 2/5 = 2 : 5 = AP : PB.
The x - coordinate of Q is zero. Let AQ : QB = r : s. So
0 = [(-16)s + 12r]/(r + s)
16s = 12r
r/s = 16/12 = 4/3. So AQ : QB = 4 : 3.
(b)
Let P be (x, 0).
Slope of PA = slope of AB
(-6 - 0)/(-16 - x) = [15 - (-6)]/[12 - (-16)]
- 6/(-16 - x) = 21/28
6/(16 + x) = 3/4
2/(16 + x) = 1/4
8 = 16 + x
x = 8 - 16 = -8. P is (- 8,0)
Let Q be (0, y)
Slope of AQ = slope of AB
[y - (-6)]/(0 - (-16)] = 3/4
(y + 6)/16 = 3/4
(y + 6)/4 = 3
y + 6 = 12
y = 12 - 6 = 6. Q is (0,6)
So the mid- point of PQ, M is [ (-8 + 0)/2, (0 + 6)/2] = (- 4, 3).
