Question

find the co-ordinate of P which divide the joining of a - 2, 5 b 3, - 5 in the ratio 2 ratio 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Coordinates of P : (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-2,5) and B(3,-5)

m:n = 2:3

P(x,y)=( \frac{m$x_{2}$+n$x_{1}$ }{(m+n)}[/tex] , \frac{m$y_{2}$+n$y_{1}$ }{(m+n)}[/tex])

P(x,y) = (2×3 + 3×(-2) / (2+3) , 2×(-5)+3×5 / (2+3) )

P(x,y) = (6-6/5 , -10+15/5)

P(x,y) = (0,1)
