Question

Given the points A(3, 4) and B (6, 10), find the

Answer 1

Answer:

P (5 , 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x,y) partition A (x₁ , y₁) B (x₂ , y₂) into ratio AM:MB = a:b = 2:1  ... a=2 , b=1

x = (bx₁ + ax₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 3 + 2 * 6) / (2 + 1)

  = 15/3

  = 5

y = (by₁ + ay₂) / (a+b)

  = (1 * 4 + 2 * 10) / (2 + 1)

  = 24/3

  = 8

P (5 , 8)
