Question

a point divide the join of (5,6) and B (9,6) in the ratio 3:1 find the coordinates of p



step by step full explanation plzzzz​

Answer 1

Answer:

solve it like this

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of P be (x, y). Given m:n=2:5

(x

)=(4,−5) and (x

2

,y

)=(6,3)

by section formula,

x=

m+n

mx

=

2+5

2(6)+5(4)

=

12+20

=
