Question

Let p and q be the point of trisection of the line segment joining the point A(2,-2)and (-7,4) such that p is nearer to A.find the co ordinates of p and q

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(2,-2)--------p(x,y)---------q(x1,y1)----------B(-7,4)

P(x,y)= (x2m1+x1m2/m1+m2,y1m2+y2m1/m1+m2)

(-7×1+2×2/2+1,4×1+(-2)×2/2+1)

(-7+4/3,4-4/3)

P=(-1,0)

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

(2×(-7)+1×2/2+1,-2×2+4×1/2+1)

(-14+2/3,-4+4/3)

Q=(-4,0)
