Question

Find the coordinates of the point on x-axis which divides the line segment
joining the points (2, 3) and (5,- 6) in the ratio 1:2​

Answer 1

Answer:

P(3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(2,3) and B(5,-6) and P be the point which divides AB in the ratio 1:2

P(m1× x2 + m2× x1/m1+m2 , m1×y2+m2y1/m1+m2)

P(1×5+2×2/3 , 1×-6+2×3/3)

on simplyfying...

P(3,0)
