The point which divides the line segment joining the points (7, - 6) and (3, 4) in ratio 1:2 internally lies in the


Let’s take A and B the joining point and P is the dividing point;

Let’s assume the co - ordinates of point P = x and y


By using Section formula;


x co - ordinate of point P will be -


x = and


y co - ordinate of point P will be -



x =



Given that,


x1 = 7, y1 = - 6,


x2 = 3, y2 = 4


m = 1 and


n = 2




So, (x, y) = lies in IV quadrant.


[Since, in IV quadrant, x - coordinate is positive and y - coordinate is negative]
