Given:
The point
divides the line segment joining points
and
.
To find:
The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.
Solution:
Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get


On comparing both sides, we get


Multiply both sides by 4.




It can be written as


Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
3:8 is equivalent to 12:32 multiplying by 3 to 12 is 4, so you multiply each number to 4. 3 x 4 = 12 8 x 4 = 32 yes 3:8 is equal to 12:32.
4 terms, degree of 2
The terms is the amount of “numbers” you have, which is 4
The degree is the highest power, which is x^2
