Question

Find the coordinates of the point P that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio.

A(-6, 9), B(2, 1); Ratio 5 to 3

Answer 1

P(-11 , 14)

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given points A(-6, 9), B(2, 1); Ratio 5 : 3

The Point P divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio Externally

5 : 3

A( -6,9) B(2,1)

we will use formula



=
`((5(1)-3(9) )/(5-3) ,(5(2) -3(-6))/(5-3))`

=
`((5-27)/(2) , (10+18)/(2) ) = (-11 , 14)`

The point P( -11 ,14) divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio Externally
