Question

Find the ratio in which 11,15 divides the line segment joining the points 15,5 and 9,20 by section formula x=mx2+mx1 divided by m+n

Answer 1

Answer:

4:2

Step-by-step explanation:

• X=mx2 +nx1 /m+n
• 11= m(9)+n(15)/m+n
• 9m+15n = 11(m+n)
• 9m+15n=11m+11n
• 9m-11m=11n-15n
• -2m=-4n
• m/n=-4/-2
• m/n=4/2

Hence, 4:2 is the ratio.
