(i) The end points of AB are A(−1, 7) and B(4, −3).
Therefore, (x1 = −1, y1 = 7) and (x2 = 4, y2 = −3)
Also, m = 2 and n = 3
Let the required point be P(x, y).
By section formula, we get:
Hence, the coordinates of the required point are (1, 3).
(ii) The end points of AB are A(−5, 11) and B(4, −7).
Therefore, (x1 = −5, y1 = 11) and (x2 = 4, y2 = −7).
Also, m = 7 and n = 2
Let the required point be P(x, y).
By section formula, we have:
Hence, the required point is P(2, −3).
