Q7 of 48 Page 102

The point P divides the line segment joining the points (5, 0) and (0, 4) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally. The coordinates of P are:

Coordinates of point P (x,y) dividing the line segment joining the points (5, 0) and (0, 4) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally are:


x =


∴ x = 3


And y =


P is the required point.


∴ The correct option is A.
