Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
coordinates of point g is ( -6, 14)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of the point which divides the point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) in m:n ratio is given by (nx1+mx2)/(m+n), (ny1+my2)/(m+n).
___________________________________________
given point
F(-1, -1) to H(-8, 20)
ratio : 5:2
the coordinates of point g is
(2*-1+5*-8)/(5+2), (2*-1+5*20)/(5+2)
=> (-2 -40/7 , -2+100/7)
=> (-42/7, 98/7)
=>( -6, 14)
Thus , coordinates of point g is ( -6, 14)
