Question

find the ratio in which point T(-1,6) divides the line segment joining the points P(-3,10) and Q(6,-8).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the ratio be k: 1.

Using section formula we have

-1 = 6k – 3 x 1

k +1

> -k – 1 = 6k – 3

» -1+3 = 6k + k

» 2 = 7k

»k = 2

7

Thus, the required ratio is 2:7.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k:1 be the ratio...

kx2 + x1 / k + 1 = - 1. ky2 + Ky1 / K + 1 = 6

6k - 3 / K + 1 = - 1

6k - 3 = - K -1

7k = 2

K = 2/7

K = 2 : 7
