Question

14 The coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (4-3) and (9.7) internally in the ratio 3:2 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that by section formula, the co-ordinates of the points which divide internally the line segment joining the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in the ratio m:n is

(x,y)=(m+nmx2+nx1,m+nmy2+ny1)

The end points of AB are A(4,-3) and B(9,7).

Therefore,

(x1=4,y1=−3) and (x2=9,y2=7)

Also, m=3 and n=2

Let the required point be P(x,y).

Using section formula,

x=m+nmx2+nx1,y=m+nmy2+ny1

x=53×9+2×4=7,y=53×7+×−3=3

so answer will be p(7, 3)

Answer 2

Answer - p(7,3)
