Question

Find the coordinates of the point dividing the line segment PQ joining

P(1, -2) and Q(-3, 4) internally in the ratio 1 : 2.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Co-ordinates of are [ -1/3 , 0 ]

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let, x1 = 1

x2 = -3

y1 = -2

y2 = 4

m = 1 and n = 2

Now, using section formula

mx2+nx1 / m+n , my2+ ny1 / m+n

1(-3) + 2(1) / 1+2 , 1(4)+2(-2)/1+2

-3+2/3, 4-4/3

answer, -1/3 , 0/3
