Given F (0, 2) and G (2,6), if point S lies 1/3 of the way along FG, closer to F than to G, find the
coordinates of S. Leave your answer in fraction form.

Respuesta :

The coordinates of S(x₁, y₁)=(3/2 , 5) if F(0, 2) and G(2,6) and the lines divided in the ratio 1:3

What is a section formula?

Finding the ratio by which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally in coordinate geometry is done using the Section formula. The centroid, incenter, and ex center of a triangle are determined using it. Finding systems' centers of mass, equilibrium locations, etc. are all done using this method in physics. Finding the ratio by which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally in coordinate geometry is done using the Section formula.

Given,

F(0, 2) and G(2, 6)

And also given that the points S lies on the way along FG then:

The lines divides the ratio,

1:3= m:n

Here we have to find the coordinates of S, we get:

S(x₁, y₁)=((mx₁+n x₂)/(m+ n), (my₁+n y₂)/(m+ n))

=((1(0)+3(2))/4 , (1(2)+3(6))/4)

=(6/4 , 20/4)

=(3/2 , 5)

S(x₁, y₁)=(3/2 , 5)

Therefore, the coordinates of S(x₁, y₁)=(3/2 , 5).
