Question

Find the ratio in which line segment joining the points of(-3,10) and (6,8) is divided by (-1,6).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x₁ = -3, y₁ = 10, x₂ = 6, y₂ = -8  

         [m(6) + n (-3)]/(m+n) , [m (-8) + n (10)]/(m+n) = (-1,6) 

        (6m - 3n)/(m+n), (-8m+10n)/(m+n) = (-1,6)

 equating the coefficients of x and y

    (6m-3n)/(m+n) = -1       (-8m+10n)/(m+n) = 6

       6m -  3n = -1 (m+n)

     6m - 3n = -1 (m+n)

      6m-3n=-m-n

      6m+m=-n+3n

       7m=2n

        m/n= 2/7

        m:n = 2:7

So the point (-1,6) is dividing the line segment in the ratio 2:7.
