    Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of \[(-1,7)\] and \[(4,-\,\,3)\]in the ratio 2 : 3

    A)  \[(-1,\,\,3)\]                   

    B)  \[(1,\,\,3)\]

    C)  \[(3,-1)\]                       

    D)  \[(4,\,\,1)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the coordinates of a point are (x, y). We have, \[{{x}_{1}}=-1,\]\[{{y}_{1}}=7;\]\[{{x}_{2}}=4,\]\[{{y}_{2}}=-3\]       and  \[{{m}_{1}}=2,\]\[{{m}_{2}}=3\]    \[\therefore \]By using section formula, \[=(8x+3)(5x+3)-40{{x}^{2}}=(39x+9)\,\,{{m}^{2}}\]\[=\frac{5}{5}=1\] and\[y=\frac{{{m}_{1}}{{y}_{2}}+{{m}_{2}}{{y}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{2\,\,(-3)+3(7)}{2+3}=\frac{-6+21}{5}\]\[=\frac{15}{5}=3\] Hence, coordinates of the point are (1, 3).
