Point r lies on the directed line segment from l (-8,-10) to m (4,-2) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 5. what are the coordinates of point r

R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Section formula

= = = = - 3.5

= = = = - 7

Thus coordinates of R = (- 3.5, - 7 )

(-0.8, -5.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P(x,y) divides a line segment with endpoints A(a,b) and B(c,d) in ration m:n is given by :-

Given : Point R lies on the directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 5.

i.e.

i.e. m:n = 3:2

The coordinates of R divide directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) in ratio 3:2 will be :-

The coordinates of R= (-0.8, -5.2)
