Question

Calculate the ratio in which the line joining A(-4.2) and B(3,6) is divided by point P(x,3) .​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Calculate the ratio in which the line joining A(-4.2) and B(3,6) is divided by point P(x,3) .

• So let P(x,3) divide the line joining the points A(-4,2) and B(3,6) in the ratio a :1
• So the coordinates are m1x2 + m2x1 / m1 + m2 , m1y2 + m2y1 / m1 + m2
•                                      3a – 4 / a + 1 , 6a + 2 / a + 1
•   Now coordinates of p is (x,3)
•                      So 6a + 2 / a + 1 = 3
•                           6a + 2 = 3a + 3
•                            6a – 3a = 3 – 2
•                            3a = 1
•                             a = 1/3
• So the required ratio will be 1/3 : 1 or 1: 3
