Question

the ratio in which (2, 3 )divides the line segment joining (4 ,8) ,(-2,-7) is​

Answer 1

Answer: 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ratio be x : 1

Now use section formula

(mx2 + nx1) / m+n = 2

x(-2) + 1(4) = 2(x+1)

-2 + 4 = 2x + 2

4x = 2

x = 1/2

Therefore ratio is => 1/2 : 1

Which is equal to => 2 : 1
