Question

if the point C(_1,2) divides internally the line segment joining the points A(2,5) and B(x, y) in the ratio 3:4 find the value of x square + y square

Answer 1

Put the value of x and y in x2 + y2
(-5)sq + (-2)sq = 29

Answer 2

Answer:The ratio is 3:4

A(2,5) B(x,y) and C divides the line at C(-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:For X coordinate

-1=3*x+4*2/3+4

-1=3x+8/7

-7-8=3x

-15=3x

X=-5

For y coordinate :

2=3y+4*5/7

14=3y+20

14-20=3y

-6=3y

Y=-6/3

Y=-2

So x= -5 and y= -2
