Question

The coordinates of the point which divides the join of (3,2) & (0,5) in the ratio 2:1 are​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the point P(x,y) divide the line segment join f the point (x

1

,y

1

),(x

2

,y

2

)=(2,3),(6,8)

And divide in the ratio m:n=4:3

By section formula,

Coordinate are x=

m−n

mx

2

−nx

1

and y=

m−n

my

2

−ny

1

Therefore,

x=

4−3

4×6−3×2

=18

y=

4−3

4×8−3×3

=23

So the points of divide (18,23)
