Q7 of 49 Page 177

Find the coordinates of points which divide the line segment joining A(-4, 0) and B(0, 6) into four equal parts.


⇒ Let x,y and z divide the line into 4 equal parts such that


AX = XY = YZ = ZB


⇒ X divides AB in ration 1:3





⇒ Y divides AB in ratio 1:1




Y(-2,3)


⇒ Z divides AB in ratio 3:1
