Question

If the point p (-4,6)lies on the segment joining points A(-6,10)and B(-3,4) then​

Answer 1

Then point P divides AB in ratio 2:1

Given;

• A(-6,10
• B (-3,4)
• P(-4,6)

let P divides AB in the ratio m:n

Using section formula ( x = mx2 + nx1 / m + n ) , ( y = my2+ny1 / m,+n )

For x;

• -4 = -3m -6n / m+n
• (-2)(2) = (-3)(m + 2n) / m+n
• 4m + 4n = 3m + 6n
• m = 2n
• m/n= 2/1
• m:n = 2:1
