The coordinates of the endpoint of qs are q(-9,8) and s(9,-4). point r is on cue as such that qr: rs is in the ratio 1: 2. what are the coordinates of point r?

R(–3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Q(-9,8) and S(9,-4) be the given points and let R(x, y) divides QS in the ratio 1:2.

By section formula,

Here,

Substituting this in the section formula

To simplifying the expression, we get

⇒ R(x,y) = R(–3,4)  

Hence, the coordinates of point R is (–3, 4).
