Question

4) If three points are collinear, then one of the points

divide the line segment joining the other two points in

the ratio _______​

Answer 1

If three points are collinear, then one of the points divide the line segment joining the other two points in the ratio K:1

We have given three lines which are collinear which means all the point lie on the same line.

As we know that the given points lie on the same line then one of the points from the given point will be in the middle of the other two points,

here we take the one part of the line as 1 ratio, so the ratio of the other part can be any of the real numbers which is denoted by K

Hence, the ratio of the partition will be K:1
