Question

find the ratio in which the points p(2,y) divides the line segment joining the point A(-2,2)and B(3,7).also find the value of y​

Answer 1

use the ratio formula

according to question p(2,y) divides A(-2,2)& B(3,7) in ratio K:1

after finding the value of K equate it as the ratio . if K =2/3 then ratio will be 2:3

now equate for P (2,y) , you will get the value of y
