imqwerty · Answer

the cordinates of point P(x,y) which lies on segment AB with end points A(a,b) and B(c,d) and divides it in the ration m:n 

so u have -

x=(mc+na)/(m+n)
and
y=(md+nb)/(m+n)

yeah i don't get that formula
from 3 to 12 is 9 units
one sixth of that is $\frac{9}{3}=\frac{3}{2}$
