Answer 3

use segment formula

Answer 4

What is the segment formula?

Answer 5

(3*4+2*2)/(3+2) , (3*7+2*1)/(3+2) = 16/5 , 23/5 = (3.2, 4.6)

Answer 6

if x,y divide the join of the points(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
in the ratio of m:n internally then
x=(m x2+n x1)/(m+n)
and y =(m y2+n y1)/(m+n)

Answer 7

Ohh! Thank you!
