Question

Determine the ratio the point (-4, 6) divide the line segment joining the points A(-6, 10) and B(3, -8) 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio m1:m2:

By taking any one coordinates:

$\frac{m1}{m2} = \frac{x - x1}{x2 - x}$

here, x=-4, X1=-6, X2=3.

M1/m2=-4-(-6)/3-(-4)

=> -4+6/3+4

=> 2/7.

M1:m2=2:7.
