Question:

A line segment has endpoints A(1, 2) and B(5, 10). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:1.

Answer Choices:

A) (4, 8)
B) (3.5, 7)
C) (2.5, 5.5)
D) (2, 4)

✅ Answer:

(4, 8)

💡 Explanation:

To find the point that divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:1, use the section formula: $(mx_2 + nx_1) / (m+n), (my_2 + ny_1) / (m+n)$ .
Here, m = 3, n = 1, A(1, 2), and B(5, 10).
The coordinates are (3*5 + 1*1)/4, (3*10 + 1*2)/4 = (16/4, 32/4) = (4, 8).
