Question

Find the ratio in which the point (-3.k) divides the line segment joining the points (-5.- 4) and -2.5 Also find the
value of
k​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x=(M1X2+M2X1)/M1+M2

-3=((M1*-2)+(M2*-5))/M1+M2

-3M1-3M2=-2M1-5M2

5M2-3M2=3M1-2M2

2M2=M1

M1:M2=2:1

y=(M1Y2+M2Y1)/M1+M2

k=((2*5)+(1*-4))/2+1

k=(10-4)/3

k=6/3

k=2

therefore the value of K is 2
