Question

(I)write down the coordinates of the point p that divides the line joining A(-4,1) and B(17,10) in the ratio of 1:2.
(II)calculate the distance OP, where O is the origin
(III)in what ratio does the y-axis divides the line AB?

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help you Co-ordinates of point P are (iii) Let AB be divided by the point P(0, y) lying on y-axis in the ratio k : 1 Thus, the ratio in which the y-axis divide the line AB is 4: 17
