Question

find the coordinates of the point which trisect the line segment joining (1,-2) and (-3,4) for class 10​

Answer 1

Answer:

1st point m1=1 and m2=2

x=(m1.x2+m2.x1)/(m1+m2)= (1×(-3)+2×(1))/3=-1/3

y=(m1.y2+m2.y1)/(m1+m2)= (1×4+2(-2))/3=0

for the 2nd point take m1=2 and m1 =1

and then calculate the values of x and y in the above method
