Question

The point R divides the line-segment AB, where A(– 4, 0) and B(0, 6) are such
that AR =
3/4
AB. Find the coordinates of R.

Answer 1

The co ordinated of point R (16/7 , 18/7)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AR=3/4AB

AR=3/4{AR+RB}  

AR=3/4AR+3/4RB

4AR=3AR+3RB

AR=3RB                                    AR/RB=3:1

USING SECTION FORMULA

X={M1X2+M2X1}/{M1+M2}

X=  -1

SIMILARLY Y CORDINATE

Y={M1Y2+M2Y1}/{M1+M2}

Y=6

X,Y={  -1,6}
