The coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed
from A to B in the ratio of 1 : 2 are ( , 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
If point (x , y) divides a line segment whose endpoints are
and at ratio from , then
∵ Line segment AB has endpoints A(9 , 3) and B(2 , 6)
∵ Point (x , y) divides the line segment from A to B in the ratio of 1 : 2
∴ = 9 and = 3
∴ = 2 and = 6
∴ = 1 : 2
Substitute these values in the rules above to find x and y
∴
∴
∴
∴ x =
∴
∴
∴
∴ y = 4
