Question 1013064: If two points of a coordinate system are (a,b) and (c,d) and the point that divides the line which joins the two points in 3:2 ratio is (p,q),

is the formula to find p and q.
My question is since these formulas are proof in plus coordinates (+a,+b) (+c,+d), how does the formula give the correct answer even when (-a,+b) (+c,+d) (When one coordinate is minus).
I get it.. when we substitute the correct signs of coordinates to the formula, we get the answer. I want to know how does it happen. Thank you.
