Question

If the point C(-1, 2) divides internally the line segment joining A(2, 5) and
B(x, y) in the ratio 3:4, find the coordinates of B.​

Answer 1

Answer:

C divides A & B in the ratio 3:4 internally

By section formula

3+4

3x+4(2)

=−1,

3+4

3y+4(5)

=2

⇒3x+8=−7, 3y+20=14

x=

−15

, 3y=−6

⇒x=−5, y=−2

=25+4

∴x
