AI Generated Solution

To find the coordinates of a point that divides the line joining the points \( A(3, 4) \) and \( B(-2, -1) \) in the ratio \( 3:2 \) externally, we can use the external section formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points and the Ratio**: - Let point \( A \) have coordinates \( (x_1, y_1) = (3, 4) \). - Let point \( B \) have coordinates \( (x_2, y_2) = (-2, -1) \). - The ratio \( m:n = 3:2 \). ...
