Question

The line segment joining P(2, 3) and R(12,18) is internally divided by a point M, such that PR:MR=5:3. What are the coordinates of M? Ordinate = absicca

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hello dear, aapne question me kuch mistake ki hai

Answer 2

Answer:

Given that PR:MR =5:3

from this we find out that PM:MR =2:3

By applying section formula ...

(mx1+nx2/m+n,my1+my2/m+n)

where , m= 2 and n =3

X1 =12 , X2=2

y1 =18 , y2= 3

substituting values we get ,

=( (2)(12)+(3)(2)/2+3,(2)(18)+(3)(3)/2+3 )

=(24+6/5,36+9/5)

=(30/5,45/5)

=(6,9)

Hence the coordinates of M=(6,9)
