Question

Find the point that partitions line segment AB with

Answer 1

Answer:

We have to find point that partition line segment AB with end points (-5,3) (-1,-5) in ratio 1:3

Assume (-5,3) as ( a,b)

Assume (-1,-5) as (c,d)

Assume ratio 1:3 as m:n

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember this formula

Partition point =( mc + na)/m+ n , ( md+ nb)/m+n

=[ (1)(-1)+ 3(-5)]/1+3, ( 1(-5) + 3(3))/1+3

= -1 -15)/4,( -5 + 9)/4

= -16/4, 4/4

= -4, 1
