Question

Which shows how to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide AB into a 2:3 ratio using the formula x=(a/a+b)(x2-x1)+x1?

Answer 1

Let,

• A = x1 = 2
• B = x2 = 3

Now, Plug in the values in the formula

`\boxed{ \sf \multimap \: x = ( (a)/(a + b))( x_(2) - x_(1)) + x_(1) }`

`\tt\\Rightarrow \: x = ( (2)/(2 + 3) )( - 3 - 2) + 2`

`\bf \Rrightarrow \: x = ((2)/(5) )( - 3 - 2) + 2`

• ➪ Therefore, Option C is the correct choice!!~
