a

x=m1x1+m2x2m1+m2,y=m1y1+m2y2m1+m2

b

x=m1x2+m2x1m1+m2,y=m1y2+m2y1m1+m2

c

x=0,y=0

d

x=m1x1-m2x2m1-m2,y=m1y1-m2y2m1-m2

Detailed Solution

It is given that the coordinates of a point (x,y) divides the straight line joining two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) internally in the ratio m1and m2.
This is the section formula, i.e. if a point divides the line segment AB joining given two points in given m:n ratio internally, then by section formula, the coordinates of a point are given as,
 x=mx2+nx1m+n and  y=my2+ny1m+n
So the correct option is 2.
