If x is located at -2 and y is located at -5, find Z such that XY is divided into a 2:1 ratio
1 answer:
Answer:
<u>z = -4</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u> :
- x = -2
- y = -5
- z divides xy in the ratio 2 : 1 (m : n)
<u>Solving</u> :
- Take the section formula
- z = [my + nx] / [m + n]
- z = [2 x -5 + 1 x -2] / [2 + 1]
- z = -10 - 2 / 3
- z = -12 / 3
- <u>z = -4 </u>
