Question

Find the co ordinates of point A which divides line seg. MN internally in the ratio 3:2.
here M (4,7) and N (1, -2).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Required point = (11 , 8 )

                             5    5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: M(4,7) and N(1,-2)

       m = 3

        n     2

So, Coordinates of points are :-

  x = mx2 + nx1

        m+n

=> x = 3(1) + 2(4)

              3+2

=> x = 11

          5

 Now ,

 y = my2 + ny1

       m + n

=> y = 3(-2) + 2(7)

            3+2

=> y = -6+14

             5

=> y= 8

         5
