Question
Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (1, –2, 3) and (3, 4, –5) in the ratio 2 : 3 externally.
✓

Answer

Let P (x, y, z) be the point which divides segment joining A (1, –2, 3) and B (3, 4, –5) externally in the ratio 2 : 3. Then
$x=\frac{2(3)+(-3)(1)}{2+(-3)}=-3, \quad y=\frac{2(4)+(-3)(-2)}{2+(-3)}=-14, z=\frac{2(-5)+(-3)(3)}{2+(-3)}=19$   [using section formula]
Therefore, the required point is (–3, –14, 19).
