Question

The point which divides the line segment joining the points P(-1, 7) and Q(4, -3) in the ratio of 2:3 is
(1 Point)

( -1 , 3 )

( -1 , -3 )

( 1 , - 3 )

( 1 , 3 )

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(-1, 7) and Q(4, -3)

M:N=2:3 (given)

Let the third point be R(x, y)

x=x1m+x2n/m+n

x=-2+12/5=10/5=2

Y= y1m+y2n/m+n

Y=2×7+3×(-3) /2+3=14-9=5/5=1

Third point is (2, 1)
