Question

If B is a point AC and AB:BC = 1:2, what are the coordinates of B?

Answer 1

B(x, y) = (-2, -2)

Explanation:

Given: AB: AC (m₁: m₂) = 1 : 2, A (x₁, y₁) = (-5, 2) and B(x₂, y₂) = (4, -10)

To find: Coordinates of B (x, y)

Using section formula:

Therefore Coordinates of B (x, y) is (-2, -2).
