Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (-1,7) and (4, -3) in theratio 2:3​

Answer»

GIVEN:

  • The join of (-1,7) and (4, -3).
  • It is DIVIDED in 2:3.

Let's USE the formula.

(\frac{3x_2+2x_1}{3+2} ,\frac{3y_2+2y_1}{3+2} )

Given (x_1,y_1)=(-1,7), (x_2,y_2)=(4,-3)

↓ (\frac{3x_2+2x_1}{3+2} ,\frac{3y_2+2y_1}{3+2} )=(\frac{12-2}{5} ,\frac{-9+14}{5} )

↓ The POINT is (2, 1).
