Answer 1

y1) and B (x2, y2) in the ratio m1 and m2 then the coordinates of P are (p m1x2 + m2x1m1 

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that point P(x,y) divides the line segment joining A(x

1

y

1

) B(x

y

2

) in the ratio m

then the coordinates of P can be obtained using the section formula.

Using section formula we can write :

⇒(x,y)≡(
