Answer:

(x2 , y2) = (22,50)

Explanation:

Given:

m1 : m2 = 1:4

(x1 , y1) = (7 , 5)

(X ,Y) = (10 ,14)

Find:

(x2 , y2)

Computation:

X = (m1x2 + m2x1) / (m1+m2)

10 = [(1)(x2) + (4)(7)]/(1+4)

10 = [x2 + 28]/5

22 = x2

Y = (m1y2 + m2y1) / (m1+m2)

14 = [(1)(y2) + (4)(5)]/(1+4)

14 = [y2 + 20]/5

70 = y2 + 20

50 = y2

(x2 , y2) = (22,50)
