Question

Determine ‘p’, if the line segment joining the points A(5, -6) and B(-11, p) is

perpendicular to Y-axis.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be k : 1. Then by which the section formula, the coordinates of the point which divides AB in the ratio k : 1 are (

k+1

−2k+3

,

k+1

k+4

)

This point lies on the y-axis, and on the y-axis, the abscissa is 0.

∴

k+1

−2k+3

=0⇒−2k+3=0⇒k=3/2

Hence, the ratio is 3 : 2.

Substituting this value of k, we get the point of intersection as (0, 11/5).
