Question

Write the coordinates of the point dividing line segment joining points (2, 3) and (3, 4) internally in the ratio 1 : 5.

Answer 1

Let P be the point which divide the line segment joining A (2, 3) and B (3, 4) in the ratio 1: 5.

Now according to the section formula if point a point P divides a line segment joining andin the ratio m: n internally than,

Now we will use section formula as,

So co-ordinate of P is
