Answer:
m1 : m2 = 1 : 1 & m = 3 (。_。)
Step-by-step explanation:
let the ratio be k:1
(x, y) = { [x1 * m2 + x2 * m1] / m1+m2 , [y1 * m2 + y2 * m1] / m1 + m2 }
p(4, m) = { 6k + 2 / k+1 , 3k + 3 / k+1 } -------- I
so, m = (3k+ 3) /( K+1)
m = 3
from I :
4 = (6k + 2)/(k+1)
4k + 4 = 6k + 2
2k = 2
k = 1
thus, ratio = 1:1 & m = 3
I hope u find it useful. (°ー°〃)
