A straight line is formed using two points A(3,3) and B(6,6). Another point P(x,y) lies between A and B such that AP/BP = 7. What are the coordinates of P?
Pick.
A) (5/8, 5/8)
B) (15/8, 15/8)
C) (45/8, 45/8)
D) (21/8, 21/8)
E) (53/8, 53/8)
The equation of the straight line is y = x, so the x- and y-coordinates of P are the same.   The x, y coordinates are 7/8 of the distance from 3 to 6.   x = 3 + (6-3)*(7/8) = 3 + 21/8 = 45/8 = y   The answer is (45/8, 45/8).
