Answer» Let x1 = -1 , x2 = 4 , y1 = 7 and y2 = -3 , m1 = 2 and m2 = 3\xa0Using Section Formula to find coordinates of point which divides join of (–1, 7) and (4, –3) in the ratio 2:3, we getx = (m1x2 + m2x1)/(m1 + m2) = (8-3)/ 5 = 5/5 = 1y = (m1y2 + m2y1)/(m1 + m2) = (-6 + 21)/ 5 = 15/5 = 3Therefore, the coordinates of point are (1, 3) which divides join of (–1, 7) and (4, –3) in the ratio 2:3. (1,3) the point is (1,3) 1,3 |
