Q3 of 184 Page 10

The coordinates of A and B are (1,2) and (2,3) respectively, If P lies on AB, find the coordinates of P such that


Given:



⇒ m1 = 4 and m2 = 3


and (x1, y1) = (1, 2) ; (x2, y2) = (2, 3)


Using the section formula for the internal division, i.e.


…(i)





Hence, the coordinates of P are
