Question

find the co ordinates of the points which divides the line segment joining the points (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the eatio 2:3

Answer 1

this is Ur required result in attachment

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the co ordinates of the required point be (x,y).

X = m1x2 + m2x1/m1 + m2

= (2)(4) + (3)(-1)/2 + 3

= 8 - 3/5 = 5/5 = 1

Now,

Y = m1y2 + m2y1/m1 + m2

= (2)(-3) + (3)(7)/2 + 3

= -6 + 21/5 = 15/5 = 3

Hence, the required point is (1,3)
