Question

Find the ratio in which P(-4,-1) divides the segment joining M(-7, 5) and N(-2.-5)
from М.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• let the point p(-4,-1) be x&y
• By the slope formula,
• let point M(-7,5)be x1 &y1
• & N (-2,-5) be x2& y2
• y2-y1 /x2-x1
• = -5-5/-2-(-7)
• =-10/-2+7
• =-10/5
• =-2/1
• ie the ratio formed here is -2/1.....
