Question

19. In what ratio does the point P(3,-2) divides the line segment joining the points (-3, 6) and
(9,-10)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(2:1)

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

P(-3,6) Q(9,-10)

LET THE DIVIDING POINT BE X(3,-2

Let the ratio be m1:m2

(3,-2)=. ( m1(9)+m2(-3) )/m1+m2.,m1(-10)+m2(6))/m1+m2

so 3(m1+m2)=9m1-3m2->(1)

-2(m1+m2)= -10m1+6m2->(2)

3m1+3m2=9m1-3m2

6m1=12m2

m1:m2=2:1

so the ratio is (2:1)
