Question

Point p(x,y) divides the line segment joining the points a(2,-5) and B (5,2) in the ratio 2:3 find the coordinates of p

Answer 1

Answer:

We can use the section formula:

$r = \frac{mr_{2} + nr_{1} }{m+n}$

Given m:n = 2:3

So P(x) = (2 x 5 + 3 x 2)/(2+3) = 16/5

P(y) = (2 x 2 + 3 x -5)/(2+3) = -11/5

Coordinates of point P are : (16/5, -11/5)
