Question

Find the ratios in which the following straight line divide the line segments joining the given points. State whether the points lie on the same side or on either side of the straight line.
(1). 3x+4y=6; (2,-1) and (-1,1)


Please relevant answers only..I'm literally begging you guys.​

Answer 1

Equation of the line is 3x−4y=7

Given points are A(2,−7) and B(−1,3).

The ratio in which the line L=0 divides the line join of point A and B is −L22L11=

−(ax2+by2+c)(ax1+by1+c)

=−[3−(−1)−4.3−7][3.2−4(−7)−7]=−−3−12−7(6+28−27)

=−22−27=2227

The ratio is positive, therefore given points lie on opposite sides of the line.
