Plot the points A (1, -1) and B (4, 5)
(i) Draw a line segment joining these points. Write the coordinates of a point on this line segment between points A and B.
(ii) Extend this line segment and write the coordinates of a point on this line which lies outside the line segment AB.
Answer:
(i) (3, 3)
(ii) (5, 7)
Solution.
(i) Coordinates of a point on this line segment between points A and B: C (3, 3), D (2.5, 2)
(ii) Coordinates of a point on this line which lies outside the line segment AB.E (5, 7), F (4.5, 6)
