Answer: (6.2, 3.6)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that if a point M (x,y) divide a line segment having endpoints [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] in ratio m:n , then the coordiantes of M is given by :-
[tex]x=\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}[/tex]
Given : X divides into the line PQ in the ratio 2:3 P is (2,1) and Q is (12.5,7.5).
Then, coordinate of X is given by :-
[tex]x=\dfrac{2(12.5)+3(2)}{2+3}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{2(7.5)+3(1)}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{31}{5}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{18}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6.2\ ;\ y=3.6[/tex]
Hence, the coordinate of X = (6.2, 3.6)
