Question

If A (3,5) B (2,-5) and point
Q divides
segment AB in the ratio 2:3 then
Coordinates of point Q​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x,y) divides the line segment joining the points A(x1​,y1​) and B(x2​,y2​) in the ratio m:n , then

x=m+nmx2​+nx1​​

y=m+nmy2​+ny1​​

Here, 

 m:n = 3:4

(x1​,y1​)=(2,5)

Let the coordinates of B are (x2​,y2​)

Then,

−1=3+43x2​+4(2)​

−1=73x2​+8​

3x2​+8=−7

x2​=−5

And,

2=3+43y2​+4(5)​
