Question

the point y which divide the line segment joining the point w (-5, 4) and z (7, 1) in the ratio 1:2 lies in
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans: II quadrant

let X1 and X2 is -5 &7 or Y1 and Y2 is 4 & 1 respectively

m1 & m2 is 1 ,2 respectively

Now,

Y(a,b) = (m1 × X2 + m2×X1) / m1+m2 , (m1×Y2 + m2×Y1) / m1+m2

Y= (1×7 + 2×-5)/ 3 , (1×1 +2×4)/ 3

Y = (7-10)/3 ,(1+8)/3

Y = (-1 , 3)
