Question

Find the coordinates of the point P that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio.

Answer 1

Answer:

P(-11 , 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given points A(-6, 9), B(2, 1); Ratio 5 : 3

The Point P divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio Externally

       5 : 3

A( -6,9)    B(2,1)

we will use formula



                            =   $(\frac{5(1)-3(9) }{5-3} ,\frac{5(2) -3(-6)}{5-3})$

                           =  $(\frac{5-27}{2} , \frac{10+18}{2} ) = (-11 , 14)$

The point P( -11 ,14) divides the directed line segment from A to B in the given ratio Externally
