The coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle are A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2), C (x3, y3). Point D divides AB into internal division ratio I:k, E point divides DC internal division ratio m : k+1, find the coordinates of point E.

Really don't know how to solve this, hope someone can help, thank you very much.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula, if a point (x,y) divides the line joining the points (x  

1

,y  

1

) and (x  

2

,y  

2

) in the ratio m:n, then  

(x,y)=(  

m+n

mx  

2

+nx

,  

m+n

)

The vertices of the triangle are given to be (x  

1

,y  

1

),(x  

2

,y  

2

) and (x  

3

,y  

3

). Let these vertices be A,B and C respectively.  

Then the coordinates of the point P that divides AB in l:k will be

The coordinates of point which divides PC in m:k+l will be
