Answer:
Coordinates of point R = (6,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Point A(2 , 1)
Q(-4 , -5)
m1:m2 = 3 : 2
Find:
Coordinates of point R
Computation:
X = [(m1)(x2) + (m2)(x1)] / (m1 + m2)
2 = [(3)(x2) + (2)(-4)] / (3 + 2)
2 = [3x2 - 8] / (5)
10 = [3x2 - 8]
3x2 = 18
x2 = 6
Y = [(m1)(y2) + (m2)(y1)] / (m1 + m2)
1 = [(3)(y2) + (2)(-5)] / (3 + 2)
1 = [3x2 - 10] / (5)
5 = [3x2 - 10]
3y2 = 15
y2 = 5
Coordinates of point R = (6,5)
