Find the coordinates of the points which divide the line segment joining A(– 2, 2) and B(2, 8) into four equal parts.
Let P, Q and R be the three points which divide the line-segment joining the points A(-2, 2) and B(2, 8) in four equal parts. Case I. For point P, we have Hence, m1 = 1, m2 = 3 Case II. For point Q, we have m1 = 2, m2 = 2 Case III. For point R, we have |
