Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (-1,7)and

1.	Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (-1,7)and (4,-3)in the ratio 2:3.
Answer» A = (-1, 7) and B = (4, -3)So, x1=−1,\xa0y1=7,\xa0x2=4 and y2=−3We also have; m1=2 and m2=3Let us assume P is the point of divisionCoordinates of P can be calculated as follows by using section formula:Hence, P = (1, 3)
