1 (i) Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (– 2, 3, 5) and (1, – 4, 6) in the ratio 2 : 3 internally
The line segment joining the points A (– 2, 3, 5) and B(1, – 4, 6)
Let point P(x,y,z) be the point that divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio 2:3.
Now, as we know by section formula, The coordinate of the point P, which divides line segment And in ratio m:n,
Now the point that divides A (-2, 3, 5) and B (1, -4, 6) in ratio 2:3 is
Hence, required point is:
