Question

find the coodinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the pont ( 4,-3) and (8,5) in the ratio 3:1 internally​

Answer 1

LET THE COORDINATES BE (X,Y)

MX2 +NX1

X = ________

3+1

= 3× 8 + 4× 1 /4

= 28/4 .....

Y = 3×5+1×_3/4

= 12/4

coordinates of the point are( 28/4 ,12/4)
