Answer:

[tex]P = (7, -\frac{3}{5})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (-9,5)[/tex]

[tex]B = (11,-2)[/tex]

[tex]m : n = 4 : 1[/tex]

Required

Point P

This is calculated as:

[tex]P = (\frac{m * x_2 + n * x_1}{m + n}, \frac{m * y_2 + n * y_1}{m + n})[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = (\frac{4 * 11 + 1 * -9}{4 + 1}, \frac{4 * -2 + 1 * 5}{4+1})[/tex]

[tex]P = (\frac{35}{5}, \frac{-3}{5})[/tex]

[tex]P = (7, -\frac{3}{5})[/tex]
