Find the x distance from A to B and divide by 5.

P is 4/5 of the distance from A to B.

Similarly for y,
Find the y distance from A to B and divide by 5.

P is 4/5 of the distance from A to B.

The line segments from x[A] to x[B]
and y[A] to y[B] are also divided in the ratio
4:1

I get P( 7, -.6 ) for the required point
Definitely get another opinion on this.
I could easily get the math wrong
