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 = 8. What are the coordinates of P?  Choices:
A) (7/3, 7/3) B) (17/3, 17/3) C) (8/9, 8/9) D) (8/3, 8/3) E) (7/8, 7/8)
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 8/9 of the distance from 3 to 6.   x = 3 + (6-3)*(8/9) = 3 + 8/3 = 17/3 = y   The answer is (17/3, 17/3).
