Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (–1, 7) and (4, –3) in the ratio 2: 3
Answer :
If (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points that are divided in ratio m:n then,
Let D(x, y) be the required point.
Now,
Using the section formula, we get
x = 1
y = 
y = 3
Therefore, the point is (1, 3)
