Question

In which quadrant the point P which divides the line segment joining the points A (2, - 5) and B( 5, 2) in the ratio 2:3 lies *

1 point​

Answer 1

By using section formula=m1x2+m2x1/m1+m2 and m1y1+m2y1+m1y2/m1+m2
So 2(5)+3(2)/2+3
10+6/5
16/5=x
3(2)+2(-5)/2+3
6-10/5
-4/5=y
So it concludes that it lies in 4thquadrant
