Question

find the coordinates of the points which divides the line segment joining the points of (-1,7) and (4,-3) in the ratio of 2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

1,3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that ,the coordinates of the point dividing the line segment joining the points (X1 ,y1 )and( X2 ,y2 )in the ratio m:n is given by

m1x2+m2x1/m1m21,

m1y2+m2y1/m1+m2

Given (X1+y1)= -1,7 ; (X2,y2)=4,-3

(m1,m2)=2:3

coordinates coordinates of point of intersection of line segment is

(2)(4)+(3)(-1)/2+3 ,

(2)(-3)+(3)(7)/2+3

=[5/5,15/5]

=1,3
