The abscissa at the point P which divides the line segment joining two point s A(1, 5), B(–4, 7) internally in the ratio 2: 3 is
A. –1
B. 11
C. 1
D. –11
Answer :
Let the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment be (x, y) –
We know, abscissa is x – coordinate of any point .
We know, By section formula
⇒ x = – 1
