Question

The co-ordinates of a point which divides the join of (2,4) & (x,y) in the ratio 5:3 are
13/4, 47/8
then x & y are
(a) x = 4, y = 7
(b) x = 7, y =12
(c) x = 3, y = 8
(d) x = 5, y = 14​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+6/8=13/4

20x+24=104

20x=80

x=4

5y+12/8=47/8

40y+96=376

40y=280

y=7

(4,7) option (a)
