Geometry give g(1,2) and k(8,12). find the coordinates of p that partitions gk in the ratio of 3: 2

A point P on the line segment GK may be parametrically represented as

t is a real parameter which controls where on the segment P is.  t=0 means P=G, t=1 means P=K.  We're interested in the t that gives a 3:2 ratio for PG:PK.  That's closer to K so t>1/2.   t=3/(3+2) = 3/5.

(26/5, 8)

(5.2, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : G(1,2) and K (8,12).

To find :  The coordinates of P that partitions gk in the ratio of 3:2

Section formula :

The line segment having endpoints (a,b) and (c,d) is divided in ration m:n by point M , then the coordinates of the M will be :-

Similarly,

Now simplify , we get

x=5.2  and y=8

Hence, the coordinates of P that partitions GK in the ratio of 3:2 = (5.2, 8)

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
