Question

in which qurantant the point p that divides the line segment joining the point a(2,-5) and b(5, 2) in ratio 2:3 lies​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fourth quadrant.

Let P be the point that divides the line in given ratio

Then coordinates of P are

P(

3+2

3(5)+2(2)

,

3+2

3(2)+2(−5)

)

⇒P(

5

19

,

5

−4

)

x coordinate is positive and y is negative

∴ point lies in the Fourth quadrant.
