Question

The points A (-1, -7) and B (24, 23) are on a straight line ACB .

AC:CB = 2:3

Work out the coordinates of C. ​

Answer 1

A(-1,-7) --------------C(x,y)--------------B(24,23)

C on divides ratio 2:3

by using section formula

C(x,y) = (M1 X2 + M2 X 1/ M1+M2, M1 Y2 + M2 Y1 /M1 +M2)

= (2×24+3×(-1)/2+3, 2×23+3× (-7)/2+3)

=(48-3/5, 46-21 /5)

=(45/5, 25/5)

=(9, 5)

C(x,y) = (9, 5)

Hence ,the C corrdinate is 9,6 Ans.
