a point C with z coordinate 8 lies on the line segment joining the points A(2,-3,4) and B(8,0,10) find its coordinate?...plz its urgent can u solve it plzz
We know that:
The coordinates of the point that divides the line segment joining the points A(x1, y1, z1) and B(x2, y2, z2) internally in the ratio m: n are given by
. This formula is known as the section formula.
Given points are: A(2, -3, 4) and B(8, 0, 10)
x1= 2, y1= -3 z1 = 4
x2= 8, y2= 0 z2 = 10
Also, z coordinate of third point, say C, is 8.
Let C intersects AB in the ratio m : n.
Therefore,
Coordinate of point C are as (6, -1, 8).
