Find the coordinates of the point p dividing the line segment joining the points A(1,3) and B(4,6) in the ratio 2:1 !!!!✓( pls answer with✓ steps)!!!!
Answers
Answer: HERE U GO
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance b / w 2 points [ x1 , y1 ] and [ x2 , y2 ] in the ratio m : n internally is
[ mx2 + nx1 / m + n , my2 + ny1 / m + n ]
LET US TAKE A( 1,3) as ( x1 , y1 ) and B( 4,6 ) as ( x2 , y2) respectively
and m : n as 2 : 1
⇒ [ 2(4) + 1(1) / 2 + 1 , 2(6) + 1(3) / 2 + 1 ]
⇒ [ 8 + 1 / 3 , 12 + 3 / 3 ]
⇒ [ 9 / 3 , 15 / 3 ]
Therefore, the line segment joining the points is
= ( 3 , 5 )
