Question

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 3:2 if A is at (0, 15) and B is at (20, 0).

Answer 1

Answer:

(12, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find M use the Section formula

$x_{M}$ = $\frac{3(20)+2(0)}{3+2}$ = $\frac{60}{5}$ = 12

$y_{M}$ = $\frac{3(0)+2(15)}{3+2}$ = $\frac{30}{5}$ = 6

M = (12, 6 )
