Question

In what ratio,does the point (-4,6) divided the line segment joining the points A(-6,10) and B(3,-8)

Answer 1

Answer:

Using section formula

x=(m1x2+m2x1)/(m1+m2)

Let m1=k

m2=1

So,-4= (3k-6)/k+1

on simplification we get k= 2/7

that is m1:m2= 2:7

Hence the ratio is 2:7 Ans.

Answer 2
