Question

a point P(x,y) provides the sequent joining the points (-1,-2) and (4,-7) in ratio 2:3. find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

Answer:

P(1,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

(mx2+nx1/m+n) (my2+ny1/m+n)

{2*4+3*(-1)/5} {2*(-7)+3*(-2)/5}

8-3/5=x    -14-6/5=y

5x=5         5y=-20

x=1          y=-4

Therefore, P(1,-4)
