Question

Q,1 find the coordinates of the point P which divides line segment QR in the ratio m : n in the following examples .(1 mark each)
1. Q( -5, 8) R(4, -4) m : n = 2 : 1
2. Q (-2, 7) R(-2, -5) m : n = 1 :3

Answer 1

1. (1,0)
2. (-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula m1*x2 + m2*x1 ÷ m1+m2 for finding x and for finding y, use y instead of x in the formula.

(1,0)

(-4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula m1*x2 + m2*x1 ÷ m1+m2 for finding x and for finding y, use y instead of x in the formula.
