The point which divides the line segment joining the points (8,–9) and (2,3) in ratio 1 : 2 internally lies in the

If a point P (x,y) divides segment joining points A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) internally in the ratio m:n, then co-ordinates of point p are given by,

Here, point P divides segment joining points A (8, -9) and B (2, 3) internally in the ratio 1:2. Therefore, coordinates of point P are

Therefore, point P lies in 4^th quadrant.

Hence, option d is the correct answer.
