Question

find the coordinate of the point which divides the join of (2,5) and (3,4) in the ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the coordinates of the point be x,y and Point be P. The ratio be m:n = 2:3.

So, P( x, y )

X = mX2+ nX1 / m+n

= 2 × 3 + 3 × 2 / 2+3

= 6 + 6 / 5

= 12 / 5

Now ,

Y = mY2 + nY1 / m + n

= 2× 4 + 3 × 5 / 2+3

= 8 + 15 / 5

= 23 / 5

So, P (12/5 , 23/5 )
