Ratio formula or section formula is used to find the coordinates of a point P which divides the segment joining the points A and B internally or externally in the ratio m n.
Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points (2, 3), (5, 6) internally in the ratio 21. x1 = 2,y1 = 3 and x2 = 5,y2 = 6 m = 2,n = 1 Substitute in the formula as
Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line joining the points (2, 1), (3, 5) internally in the ratio 25. x1 = 2,y1 = 1 and x2 = 3,y2 = 5 m = 2,n = 5 Substitute in the formula as
The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Coordinates of Point Externally/Internally using Section or Ratio formula manually.
This tutorial will help you dynamically to find the Analytical Geometry problems.
