Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The points = A(0,10) and B (3,7)
The ratio = 2:5
To find :-
Find the co-ordinates of point which divides segment AB externally in the ratio 2:5 ?
Solution :-
Given points are A(0,10) and B (3,7)
Let (x1, y1) = A(0,10) => x1 = 0 and y1 = 10
Let (x2, y2) = B(3,7) => x2 = 3 and y2 = 7
Given ratio = 2:5
Let m1:m2 = 2:5 => m1 = 2 and m2 = 5
We know that
The co-ordinates of point P(x,y) which divides the linesegment joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
( (m1x2-m2x1)/(m1-m2) ,
(m1y2-m2y1)/(m1-m2) )
On substituting these values in the above formula
=> ({(2)(3)-(5)(0)}/(2-5) , { (2)(7)-(5)(10)}/(2-5) )
=> ( {6-0)/-3 , (14-50)/-3)
=> ( 6/-3 -36/-3 )
=> ( -2 , 12 )
Answer:-
The required coordinates of the point is ( -2 , 12 )
Used formulae:-
Section formula :-
The co-ordinates of point P(x,y) which divides the linesegment joining (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
( (m1x2-m2x1)/(m1-m2) ,
(m1y2-m2y1)/(m1-m2) )
