Question: If point A is at (1, 2) and point B is at (4, 6), what is the section formula to find point C that divides AB in the ratio 1:2?
Options:
Correct Answer: (3, 5)
Solution:
Using the section formula: C = ((mx2 + nx1)/(m+n), (my2 + ny1)/(m+n)) = ((1*4 + 2*1)/(1+2), (1*6 + 2*2)/(1+2)) = (3, 5).
