When the sign is ≤ or ≥ ("less/greater than <u>or equal to</u>"), the dot if filled in.
When the sign is < or >, the dot is not filled in/open circle.
15 > m
[15 is greater than m, or m is less than 15]
Since m is less than 15, the arrow is going to the left (the numbers to the left are less than 15)
Given:
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5.
To find:
The coordinates of that point.
Solution:
Section formula: If point divides a line segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5. Using section formula, we get
Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0,3).
