In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally.[1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc.[2][3][4][5]
