A straight walking trail runs from a gate G(-4, -1) to a viewpoint V(11, 14).
Two rest huts divide the trail GV into three equal parts.
Find the coordinates of the hut closer to the viewpoint.

Class 10Section FormulaGeometry — Coordinates
  • A(1, 4)
  • B(6, 9)
  • C(3.5, 6.5)
  • D(7, 9)

Step-by-Step Solution

The hut closer to V divides GV in the ratio 2 : 1. and , so the hut is at (6, 9). (1, 4) is the OTHER hut, obtained with the ratio 1 : 2; (3.5, 6.5) is the midpoint, which is neither of the two huts; (7, 9) mis-adds 22 - 4 as 21.
Answer: B) (6, 9)
