A (4,2) (x1 y1)
B (4,7) (x2 y2)
C (x, y)
m1 = 2, m2 = 3
by sectional formula:

therefore, C (x, y) = (4, 4)
by distance formula:
AC = √[(4-4)²+(2-4)²]
= √[2]²
= 2 units
BC = √[(4-4)²+(7-4)²]
= √[3]²
= 3 units
therefore the point is (4, 4) which is 2 cm and 3 cm from the two given points.
B (4,7) (x2 y2)
