Question

find the ratio in which the point (-3,k) divides the line segment joining the points (-5,-4) and (-2,3).also find the value of k

Answer 1

Your answer brother. Its not important to write k:1 but you can use any other variable instead.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the coordinates of A, B and C be (-3,k), (-5,-4) and (-2,-3) respectively.

A(-3,k) = (-2m-5/m+1 , 3m-4/m+1)

-3= -2m-5/m+1

m=2

the ratio is 2:1.

k= 3(2)-4/2+1

k= 2/3

Hope it helps u:)
