Question

11. If A (-14, -10), B(6, -2) is given, find the coordinates of the points which divide segment ab into four equal parts​

Answer 1

let a mid point of AB i.e. P

P(x,y) = {(-14+6)/2,(-10-2)/2}

= (-4,-6)

now, let the mid point of AP is G

G(x,y) = {(-14-4)/2,(-10-6)/2}

= (-9,-8)

and let the mid point of BP is M

M(x,y) = {(6-4)/2,(-6-2)/2}

= (1,-4)
