Q6 of 112 Page 146

Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining (3, 4) and (–6, 2) in the ratio 3: 2 externally.

Section formula externally =


Where l = 3 and m = 2


A (3, 4) and B (–6, 2)


=


=


= (–24, –2)


Therefore, the coordinates of point which divides the line is (–24, –2)
