The co-ordinates of a point which divides two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) internally in the ratio m : n are given by the formula,
`(x, y) = ((mx_2 + nx_1) / (m + 2))"," ((my_2 + ny_1) / (m + n))`
Here, we are given that the point P(m, 6) divides the line joining the points A(−4, 3) and B(2, 8) in some ratio.
Let us substitute these values in the earlier-mentioned formula.
`(m, 6) = ((m(2) + n(-4)) / (m + n)), ((m(8) + n(3)) / (m + n))`
Equating the individual components, we have
`6 = ((m(8) + n(3)) / (m + n))`
6m + 6n = 8m + 3n
2m = 3n
`m / n = 3 / 2`
We see that the ratio in which the given point divides the line segment is 3 : 2.
Let us now use this ratio to find out the value of m.
`(m, 6) = ((m(2) + n(4)) / (m = n)), ((m(8) + n(3)) / (m + n))`
`(m, 6) = ((3(2) + 2(-4)) / (3 + 2)), ((3(8) + 2(3)) / (3 + 2))`
Equating the individual components, we have
`m = (3(2) + 2(4)) / (3 + 2)`
`m = -2 / 5`
Thus, the value of m is `- 2 / 5` and m : n = 3 : 2.

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern
