Given that point P(x,y) divides the line segment joining A(x_1y_1)  B(x_2y_2)in the ratio m_1:m_2 then the coordinates of P can be obtained using the section formula.

Using section formula we can write :

(x,y)= (\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2} , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2})

Hence, the answer is (\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2} , \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2}).

Were,

x=\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}

y=\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2}
