Question

find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points A(7-2) and B(1-5) in the ratio 1:2
PLEASE ANSWER.... ​

Answer 1

Answer:

p(5,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:given: A (7,-2) = (x¹,y¹)

B(1,-5) = (x²,y²)

let 'p' be the point which divides seg AB in the ratio m:n

P = (x,y)

m:n = 1:2

sol: since, p divides seg AB

therefore,by section formula
