Find the co-ordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points A(-5, 6) and B (4, -3). |
|
Answer» Solution :Let P and Q be the points of TRISECTION of AB, then P divides AB in the RATIO 1 : 2. `THEREFORE` Co-ordinates of point `P-=((-5xx2+4xx1)/(1+2), (6xx2+1xx-3)/(1+2))-=(-2,3)` and point Q divides AB in the ratio 2 : 1. `therefore` Co-ordinates of point `Q-=((-5xx1+4xx2)/(2+1),(6xx1+2xx-3)/(1+2))-=(1,0)` `therefore` Co-ordinates of the point of trisection are (-2, 3) and (1, 0). |
