Question

solve this by setion formula​

Answer 1

Answer:

using section formula,

$p(x) = \frac{m1x2 + m2x1}{m1 + m2}$

$p(x) = \frac{2(7) + 3( - 1)}{2 + 3} \\ p(x) = \frac{14 - 3}{5} \\ p(x) = \frac{11}{5}$

$p(y) = \frac{m1y2 + m2y1}{m1 + m2} \\ p(y) = \frac{2( - 3) + 3(4)}{2 + 3} \\ p(y) = \frac{ - 6 + 12}{5} \\ p(y) = \frac{6}{5}$
