Question

Find the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (3, 5) and (7, 9) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally.

Answer 1

Let point P(x, y) divides the line segment joining the point A(3, 5) and B(7, 9) internally in the ratio 2 : 3.

Hence, the coordinate of P is (4(3/5), 6(3/5))
