Coordinate Geometry Question 70

Question: The coordinates of the join of trisection of the points (­-2, 3), (3, -1) nearer to (-2, 3), is

Options:

A) $ ( -\frac{1}{3},\frac{5}{3} ) $

B) $ ( \frac{4}{3},\frac{1}{3} ) $

C) $ ( -\frac{3}{4},2 ) $

D) $ ( \frac{1}{3},\frac{5}{3} ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

C divides the line in the ratio 1 : 2, so coordinates of C will be $ ( -\frac{1}{3},\frac{5}{3} ) $ , which is the required point.
