Question

find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

use section formula to do this question

so the coordinates of point will be (1,3)

please mark me as brain list

Answer 2

Answer:

Coordinates of Point will be : ( 1, 18/5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Section Formula :

x = ( m1x2 + m2x1 ) / ( M1 + M2 )

x = { 2(4) + 3(-1) } / ( 2 + 3 )

x = ( 8 - 3 ) / 5

x = 5/5

x = 1

Similarly for Y

y = ( m1y2 + m2y1 ) / ( M1 + M2 )

y = { 2(-3) + 3(7) } / (2+3)

y = ( -6 + 21 ) / 5

y = 18 / 5

Hence The coordinates of the point are : ( 1 , 18/5 )
