Find the coordinates of points lying on the line joining `P(3,-4)` and `Q(-2,5)` that is twice as far from P as Q

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the coordinates of the point \( S \) that lies on the line segment joining points \( P(3, -4) \) and \( Q(-2, 5) \), and is twice as far from \( P \) as it is from \( Q \), we can use the section formula. Here’s how to solve it step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio We know that point \( S \) divides the line segment \( PQ \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \). This means that the distance from \( P \) to \( S \) is twice the distance from \( S \) to \( Q \). ### Step 2: Identify the Coordinates The coordinates of point \( P \) are \( (3, -4) \) and the coordinates of point \( Q \) are \( (-2, 5) \). ...
