R(–3, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4) be the given points and let R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio 1:2.
By section formula,
Here,
Substituting this in the section formula
To simplifying the expression, we get
⇒ R(x,y) = R(–3,4)
Hence, the coordinates of point R is (–3, 4).
Hi Student!
This question is fairly simple because it gives us an equation and they also give us a value for the variable that is within the equation and they tell us evaluate the expression. So let's plug in the values and solve.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Factor out the exponent</u>
<u>Combine</u>
Therefore, the final answer that we would get when substituting m with 9 in the given equation is that we get 86.
