उत्तर
We have A (−1, 3) and B (4,−7) be two points. Let a point P(x, y) divide the line segment joining the points A and B in the ratio 3:4 internally.
Now according to the section formula if point a point P divides a line segment joining `A(x_1, y_1)` and B`(x_2, y_2)` in the ratio m: n internally than,
P(x,y) = ((nx_1 + mx_2)/(m+n), (ny_1 + my_2)/(m+n))
`= (8/7,-9/7)`
Therefore, co-ordinates of point P is `(8/7,-9/7)`

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
