Question

16. Find the ratio in which the point P (3/4, 5/12) divides the line segment joining the
Points A (1/2, 3/2) and B (2,-5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is

required ratio is 1:5

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio is 1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

P(3/4,5/12) X=3/4. Y=5/12

A(1/2,3/2). X1=1/2. Y1=3/2

B(2,-5). X2=2. Y2=-5

let the ratio be k:1

as we know x is equal to 3/4

formula x=mx2+nx1

m+n

3/4=2k+1/2

k+1

3(k+1)=(2k+1/2)4

3k+3=8k+2

3-2=8k-3k

1=5k

k=1/5

as we took the ratio as k:1

then,1/5:1

1:5

Therefore the ratio is 1:5
