Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points 1:3.​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER

Let (H,k) be the point which divides the LINE segment joining POINTS (1,−3) and (−3,9) in the ratio 1:3 internally.

By section formula,

(h,k)=(

3+1

1×3+1×(−3)

,

1+3

−3×3+9×1

)=(0,0)

HENCE the origin divides the line segment joining points (1,−3) and (−3,9) in the ratio 1:3 internally.
