Question

Points P, Q, R and S divide a line segment joining A (2, 6) and B (7, -4) in five equal parts. Find the coordinates of P and R.​

Answer 1

Answer:

P divides AB in 1:4 ratio

similarly, Q - 2:3 ; R - 3:2 ; S - 4:1

coordinates:

P=((1*7+4*2)/(1+4),(1*-4+4*6)/(1+4))=(3,4)

similarly,

Q=(4,2)

R=(5,0)

S=(6,-2)
