Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (4, -3) and (8,5) in the ratio 3:1 internally.

The coordinates of the point that divides the line internally in the given ratio is (7,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this coordinates, we use the in renal division formula

we have this as;

(x,y) =( nx1 + mx2)/(m + n) , (ny1 + my2)/(m + n)

(x1,y1) = (4,-3)

(x2,y2) = (8,5)

(m,n) = (3,1)

So, substituting these values, we have ;

(x,y) = (1(4) + 3)8))/(3 + 1) , (1(-3) + 3)5)/(1 + 3)

(x,y) = (28)/4, (12/4)

(x,y) = (7,3)

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
