Question

Find the coordinate of the point which divides the join of 2,3& 5,7 in the ratio1:2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using section formula:

  X = (mx(2) + n(1))/(m + n) ; Y = (my(2) + ny(1))/(m + n)

Here.

m = 1 , n = 2.

  X = [2(2) + 5(1)]/(1 + 2) = (4 + 5)/3

     = 3

  Y = [3(2) + 7(1)]/(1 + 2) = [6 + 7]/3

     = 13/3

Hence the required point is (3 , 13/3)
