Question

find the ratio in which line segment joining the points -3,10 and 6,-8 is divided by -1,6

Answer 1

Answer:

m:n = 2:7

Step-by-step explanation:

By section formula,

6= -8m+10n/m+n

6(m+n) = -8m+10n

6m+6n=-8m+10n

6m+8m = 10n -6n

14m = 4n

m= 4n/15

m/n = 4/14

m/n = 2/7

so, m:n = 2:7
