The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment joining the points (6, 3) and (-4, 5) in the ratio 3:2 internally, we can use the section formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points and the Ratio**: - Let the points be \( A(6, 3) \) and \( B(-4, 5) \). - The ratio in which the point divides the line segment is \( m:n = 3:2 \). 2. **Assign Coordinates**: - Let \( A \) be \( (x_1, y_1) = (6, 3) \) and \( B \) be \( (x_2, y_2) = (-4, 5) \). - Here, \( m = 3 \) and \( n = 2 \). 3. **Apply the Section Formula**: The coordinates \( (x, y) \) of the point \( P \) that divides the line segment \( AB \) in the ratio \( m:n \) are given by the formula: \[ x = \frac{m x_2 + n x_1}{m + n} \] \[ y = \frac{m y_2 + n y_1}{m + n} \] 4. **Substitute the Values**: - For \( x \): \[ x = \frac{3 \cdot (-4) + 2 \cdot 6}{3 + 2} = \frac{-12 + 12}{5} = \frac{0}{5} = 0 \] - For \( y \): \[ y = \frac{3 \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot 3}{3 + 2} = \frac{15 + 6}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \] 5. **Final Coordinates**: Thus, the coordinates of the point \( P \) that divides the segment \( AB \) in the ratio \( 3:2 \) are \( (0, \frac{21}{5}) \). ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the point are \( \left( 0, \frac{21}{5} \right) \).
