Given two coordinates (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) in 3D, and m and n, find the co-ordinates that divides the line joining (x1, y1, Z1) and (x2, y2, Z2) in the ratio m : n.

Examples: 

Input : x1 = 2, y1 = -1, Z1 = 4, x2 = 4, y2 = 3, Z2 = 2, 
m = 2, n = 3 
Output : (2.8, .6, 3.2)
Explanation: co-ordinates (2.8, .6, 3.2) 
divides the line in ratio 2 : 3 
 

Approach: 
Given two coordinates A(x1, y1, Z1) and B(x2, y2, Z2) in 3D, and m and n, we have to find the co-ordinates that divides the line joining (x1, y1, Z1) and (x2, y2, Z2) in the ratio m : n. 
Let the co-ordinates will be P(x, y, z) 
then according to section fORmula in 3 D 
x = (m * x2 + n * x1) / (m + n) 
y = (m * y2 + n * y1) / (m + n) 
z = (m * z2 + n * z1) / (m + n)

Below is the implementation of above approach:  

C++




// CPP program to find point that divides
// given line in given ratio in 3D.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the section of the line
void section(double x1, double x2, double y1,
             double y2, double z1, double z2,
             double m, double n)
{
    // Applying section formula
    double x = ((m * x2) + (n * x1)) / (m + n);
 
    double y = ((m * y2) + (n * y1)) / (m + n);
 
    double z = ((m * z2) + (n * z1)) / (m + n);
 
    // Printing result
    cout << "(" << x << ", ";
    cout << y << ", ";
    cout << z << ")" << endl;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    double x1 = 2, x2 = 4, y1 = -1,
           y2 = 3, z1 = 4, z2 = 2,
           m = 2, n = 3;
    section(x1, x2, y1, y2, z1, z2, m, n);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to find point that divides
// given line in given ratio in 3D.
import java.util.*;
 
class solution
{
 
// Function to find the section of the line
static void section(double x1, double x2, double y1,
            double y2, double z1, double z2,
            double m, double n)
{
    // Applying section formula
    double x = ((m * x2) + (n * x1)) / (m + n);
 
    double y = ((m * y2) + (n * y1)) / (m + n);
 
    double z = ((m * z2) + (n * z1)) / (m + n);
 
    System.out.print( "(" +x +", ");
    System.out.print( y+ ", ");
    System.out.println(z + ")" );
 
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String arr[])
{
    double x1 = 2, x2 = 4, y1 = -1,
        y2 = 3, z1 = 4, z2 = 2,
        m = 2, n = 3;
    section(x1, x2, y1, y2, z1, z2, m, n);
 
}
 
}

Output

(2.8, 0.6, 3.2)

Time complexity: O(1) because it is performing constant operations
Auxiliary space: O(1)
