Question

find the point k that divides p(-2, 11) q(1, 2) in the ratio 1:2 internally

Answer 1

Answer:

K(-1, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

m = ($y_{2}$ - $y_{1}$) / ($x_{2}$ - $x_{1}$)

y - $y_{q}$ = m(x - $x_{q}$)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

m = (2 - 11) / (1 + 2) = - 9 / 3 = - 3

y - 2 = - 3(x -1)

y = - 3x + 5

K(-1, 8) divides segment passing through P(-2, 11) and Q(1, 2) in ratio 1:2. (If read from left to right)

and K(0, 5) ........ (If read from right to left)
