Question

If the point c(-1, -2) divided the line segment AB in the ratio 3:4 where the coordinate of A are(2, 5) find the coordinate of B

Answer 1

Answer:

B(-5,-34/3)

Explanation:

Let the coordinates of B Be B(α,β)

By putting internal division we get

C(3α+8/7,3β+20/7)=(-1,-2)

By solving we get

α=-5,β=-34/3

So coordinates of B is B(-5,-34/3)
