Question

If a point P divides the two points A(5,_2) and B(9,6) in the ratio 3:1 then coordinates of pare

Answer 1

Answer:

( 8, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a point P divides a line joining point A(x1, y1) and B(x2 ,y2)

in Ratio M : N

      we have formula for point P       X=  (M x X2 + N x X1) / M + N

                                                               Y = (M x Y2 + N x Y1) / M + N

  so putting the values we have     X = (3 x 9 + 1 x 5) / 3 + 1     = 8

                                                            Y = (3 x 6 + 1 x 2) / 3 + 1     = 5

      so the points of P are ( 8, 5).
