Question

(iv) Find the coordinates of point P, if P divides the line segment joining the points
A(-1, 7) and B (4, -3) in the ratio 2 : 3. 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

A(-1, 7) & B(4, -3)

m1:m2=2:3

x, y=(m1x2+m2x1/m1+m2, m1y2+m2y1/m1+m2)

=(2×4+3×-1/2+3, 2×-3+3×7/2+3)

=8-3/5, -6+21/5

=5/5 , 15/5

x, y=1 , 3
