Answer:
Therefore the co-ordinate of the point A is (-4,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
If A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) is divided by a point in ration m:n internally.
Then the co-ordinate of the point is .
Given two points are P(-7,-5) and Q(5,3).
A point A on PQ, that divides PQ into a ratio of 1:3.
Since the point A lies on the PQ.
Therefore it divides the line segment PQ internally.
Here x₁= -7,y₁= -5 , x₂= 5,y₂ =3, m=1,n=3
Therefore the co-ordinate of the point A is
=(-4,-3)
