Question

Find the coordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining A(&#x2013; 2, 2) andB (2, 8) into four equal parts

Philoid · Accepted Answer

It can be observed from the figure that points P, Q, R are dividing the line segment in a ratio 1:3, 1:1, 3:1respectively

Coordinates of P = ()

= (-1, )

Coordinates of Q = ()

= (0, 5)

Coordinates of R = ()

= (1, )
