Answer:
The coordinates of N are (-3,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are going to use the internal division to find the coordinates of the point split the line segment MP in the ratio 3:4
Mathematically, that would be;
(x,y) = (nx1 + mx2)/(m + n), (ny1 + my2)/(m + n)
we have;
m = 3 and n = 4
M is (x1,y1) while N is (x2,y2)
we have;
(x,y) = (4(-12) + 3(9))/(3+4) , (4(-5) + 3(-12))/(3+4)
(x,y) = (-48 + 27)/7, (-20 -36)/7
(x,y) = (-21/7 , -56/7)
(x,y) = (-3,-8)
The third answer is correct.
I think x= -7 because 4x7=28
