Question

The point which divides the line segment joining the point A(0,5) and B(5,0) internally in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula for a point, which divides line segment joining (x1, y1) and(x2, y2) internally in the ratio m:n is given by

((mx2+nx1) /m+n, (my2+ny1) /m+n)

According to this, x1=0, y1=5, x2=5, y2=0

m=2, n=3

Therefore, required point= (10/5, 15/5) i.e., (2, 3)
