Study Notes
Internal Division Point Formula
- The internal division point formula calculates the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment internally in a given ratio.
- P(x, y) = (m1x2 + m2x1) / (m1 + m2), (m1y2 + m2y1) / (m1 + m2) is the formula used for the internal division point.
- The y-coordinate of the internal division point is (m1y2 + m2y1) / (m1 + m2)
- m1 and m2 represent weights or ratios, determining how the line segment is divided.
- The total weight used in the formula is the sum of the weights, m1 + m2.
- If m1 = 2 and m2 = 3, the total weight is 5.
- (m1x2 + m2x1) / (m1 + m2) correctly represents the x-coordinate in the internal division formula.
