Question

if line joining A(X1 Y1) and B(X2Y2) is joined by P(x y) in the ratio of m : n internal then find m by n value​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that point P(x,y) divides the line segment joining A(x1y1) B(x2y2) in the ratio m1:m2 then the coordinates of P can be obtained using the section formula.

Using section formula we can write :

⇒(x,y)≡(m2m2m1x2+m2x1,m1+m2m1y2+m2y2)

Hence, the answer is (m2m2m1x2+m2x1,m1+m2m1y2+m2y2
