Question

The point which divides the line segment joining the points (6, -6) & (3,3) in the ratio of 1 : 2 internally is what

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the point is (x,y)

$x = \frac{1 \times 3 + 2 \times 6}{1 + 2} = \frac{3 + 12}{3} = 5$

$y = \frac{1 \times 3 + 2 \times ( - 6)}{1 + 2} = \frac{3 - 12}{3} = - 3$

so required point is ( 5, -3 ). Ans.
