Question

Find the coordinate of the point (-4,6),divide the segment joining A(-6,10) and B(3,-8)

Answer 1

-4 is on x - axis and 6 is on y -axis

Answer 2

Let the point (-4,6) be M and the ratio in which it divides the line segment be k:1

By section formula the coordinates of the point M are

(-6+3k/k+1,10-8k/k+1)

But M is (-4,6)

-6+3k/k+1=-4

7k=2

k=2/7

Therefore the ratio is 2:7
