Question

Derive the section formula.​

Answer 1

★Section formula can be derived by constructing two right triangles and by using AAA similarity, we find the ratio of the length of the sides of the triangle in terms of the given ratios, and then on solving for x, and y, we can find the coordinates of the point that is dividing the line segment.
