Question

find the co_ordinate of the point which divide the line segment joining the point AandB in the ration of 1:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Let (h,k) be the point which divides the line segment joining points (1,−3) and (−3,9) in the ratio 1:3 internally.

By section formula,

(h,k)=(3+11×3+1×(−3),1+3−3×3+9×1)=(0,0)

Hence the origin divides the line segment joining points (1,−3) and (−3,9) in the ratio 1:3 internally
