Formula used-

If C(x,y) divides the line segment internally, joining two end points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) in the ratio m:n,then,

$x = \frac{mx2 + nx1}{m + n}$

and,

$y = \frac{my2 + ny1}{m + n}$

Additional information-

X-coordinate of a point is also known as abscissa of that point.

Y-coordinate of a point is also known as ordinate of that point
