Question

Find the coordinates of the point which divide the line segment joining A(-2,2) and B (2,8)into four equal parts​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is a line segment

let the points C, D , E on AB which divides AB in 4 equal parts

C divides AB in the ratio 1:3

by using section formula

coordinates of C = (-1, 7/2)

similarly D divides AB in the ratio 1:1

by using section formula coordinates of D = (0 ,5)

E divides AB in the ratio 3:1

by using section formula we get coordinates of E = (1 ,13/2).
