Question:medium
If the point \(P(a,b)\) divides the line joining the points \(A(-3,4)\), \(B(5,2)\) internally in the ratio \(2:3\), then \(b-a=\)
If the point \(P(a,b)\) divides the line joining the points \(A(-3,4)\), \(B(5,2)\) internally in the ratio \(2:3\), then \(b-a=\)
Show Hint
For internal division in the ratio \(m:n\),
\[
\boxed{
\left(
\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},
\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}
\right)
}
\]
Remember: multiply each endpoint by the opposite ratio.
