Question

2. A point A(x, y) divides the segment joining point B(5, -1) and C(-10, 4) in the ratio 3:2
find the value of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 12 and y is -12 and value in ratio is 12 and 13

Answer 2

Answer:

A= (25,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(x,y)

B(5,-1)

C(-10,4)

Now x-5= 2(y+1)

x - 2y = 7 --(a)

Also, x+10= 3(y-4)

x- 3y = -2 --(b)

subtract (a) from (b), we get

y= 9

and x= 25

therefore A= (25,9)
