Question

Coordinates of point dividing the line segment joining the points (-4,6) & (3,-8) in ratio 2:7 is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

solⁿ,

let the points be x and y then,

(x,y)=[m₁x₂+m₂x₁/m₁+₁m₂,m₁y₂+m₂y₁/m₁+m₂]

here,

m₁=2

m₂=7

(x₁,y₁)=(-4,6)

(x₂,y₂)=(3,-8)

now,

=[2×3+7×(-4)/2+7,2×8+7+6/2+7]

=[6-28/9,16+42/9]

=[-22/9,58/9]

∴(x,y)=(-22/9,58/9)
