Find the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining two point s in the given ratio for the following:
(5, 3) and (–7, –2); in the ratio 2: 3 internally
Answer :
Let the co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment be (x, y) –
And, we know, By section formula
(where, m and n are the ratios, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the line segment.)
And,
⇒ y = 1
∴ The co-ordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining two point s in the given ratio is 
.
