Answer 1

can you ???

Answer 2

use the section formula :

point which divides the line segment from \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) in ratio \(m : n\) is

\[\left( \dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}\right)\]

Answer 3

simply plugin the values

Answer 4

and sir ??

Answer 5

\[\left( \dfrac{3(2) + 4(-2)}{3+4},~ \dfrac{3(-3) + 4(1)}{3+4}\right)\]
