Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates are (1,3).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There is a formula to calculate this, it is:

(mx2+nx2/m+n , my2+my1/m+n)

where m and n are the ratio m=2 and n=3

2.Applying these values we get:

• (2*4+3*-1/2+3 , 2*-3+3*7/2+3)

• (8-3/5, -6+2/5)

• (5/5, 15/5)

• (1,3)
