Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Sol: the ratio formula is
x-x1/x2-x = ratio and y-y1/ y2-y= ratio
x-(-7)/0-x=2/1 and y-17/0-y=2/1
x+7=2(-x) and y-17 = -2y
x+2x=-7 and y+2y =17
3x=-7 and 3y = 17
x=-7/3 and y= 17/3
coordinates of point p that partition the segment in ratio is (-7/3, 17/3)
The midpoint formula is:
M= (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)
= (-7+0/2, 17+0/2)
= (-7/2, 17/2) are the midpoint of AB.
