Question

if a point P(-4,6) divides the line segment AB with A(-6,10)and B(r, s) in the ratio 2:1 find the Co_ordinates of B​

Answer 1

Answer:

since

X1 = m1X2 + m2X1 / m1 + m2

here, X1 = -4 , m1= 2 , m2= 1

-4= 2r + 1 ( -6 )/3

r= -3

similarly,

6= 2s + 1 × 10

s= -2

hence the point B (-3,-2)
