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.
