Question

In the following example find the co-ordinate of point A which divides segment PQ in the ratio
a : b. P(-3, 7), Q(1, -4), a : b = 2 : 1​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that....

As we know that....A divides the line segment PQ in the ratio 2:1...

As we know that....A divides the line segment PQ in the ratio 2:1...now using the formula i.e.

X= 2*(1)+(-3)*1/2+1 = 2-3/3=-1/3

Y =-4*2+7*1/2+1=-8+7/2+1=-1/3

A(-1/3,-1/3)....
