Question

Which shows how to find the x-coordinate of the point that will divide AB into a 2:3 ratio using the formula x=(a/a+b)(x2-x1)+x1?

Answer 1

Let,

• A = x1 = 2
• B = x2 = 3

Now, Plug in the values in the formula

$\boxed{ \sf \multimap \: x = ( \frac{a}{a + b})( x_{2} - x_{1}) + x_{1} }$

$\tt\nRightarrow \: x = ( \frac{2}{2 + 3} )( - 3 - 2) + 2$

$\bf \Rrightarrow \: x = (\frac{2}{5} )( - 3 - 2) + 2$

• ➪ Therefore, Option C is the correct choice!!~
