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 of your question

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p divide line in 1:4 ratio

x=7+2*4/5

x=7+8/5=15/5=3

y=-4+6*4/5

y=-4+24/5=20/5=4

coordinate of p(3,4)

R divide line in 3:2 ratio

x=3*7+2*2/5

x=21+4/5=25/5=5

y=3*-4+2*6/5

y=-12+12/5=0

coordinate of Q(5,0)
