The Coordinates of Points Calculator is a tool that helps determine the coordinates of a point on a line segment, given two points and a ratio. It's particularly useful in geometry, coordinate systems, and various mathematical applications where precise point locations are needed.
The formula to find the coordinates of a point P(x, y) that divides the line segment between points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in the ratio m:n is:
Where:
Let's consider an example:
Calculation:
Therefore, the coordinates of point P are (3.4, 4.4).
This example demonstrates how we can determine the coordinates of a point on a line segment using the given ratio. The visual representation helps to understand the position of the calculated point relative to the two given points.
