Question

The coordinates of the point which

divides the join of (-1, 7) and (4, -3) in the

ratio of 2:3 are​

Answer 1

Answer:

the point is (1,3)

Explanation:

let the point be P(x,y)

and m:n=2:3

A=(-1,7) and B= (4,-3)

P(x,y)= [mx2+nx1/m+n,my2+ny1/m+n]

P(x,y)=[2(4)+3(-1)/2+3,2(-3)+3(7)/2+3]

P(x,y)=[8-3/5,-6+21/5]

P(x,y)=[5/5,15/5]

P(x,y)=[1,3]
