Question

Find the coordinate of the point which divide the join of (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Let the given points be A(-1, 7)& B(4, -3)

Let the point be P(x, y) which divides AB in ratio 2:3

Here,

$x}$

m2, m2 = 3 A P (-1, 7) (x, y) (4,-3 X=-1, X = 4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ans

Coordinate of the reqd point=(mx2 + nx1/m+n, my2+ ny1/m+n)

=(2×4+3×-1/(2+3), 2×-3+3×7/(2+3))

=(5/5 , 15/5)

=(1,3)
