In given figure In which ratio The point C devide the line segment AB ?
Answers
Given : point C(3/5, 11/5) divide the line segment joining the points A(3,5)
and B(-3,-2)
To Find : Ratio in which The point C divide the line segment AB
A. 3:2
B. 3:5
C. 2:3
D. 5:3
Solution:
Let say point C divide the line segment AB in m : n ratio
C(3/5, 11/5)
A(3,5) and B(-3,-2)
Then (3/5 , 11/5) = ( (m(-3) + n(3) ) /(m + n) , (m(-2) + n(5) ) /(m + n)
Equating x coordinate
3/5 = (m(-3) + n(3) ) /(m + n)
=> m + n = 5( -m + n)
=> 6m = 4n
=> 3m = 2n
=> m/n = 2/3
=> m : n = 2 : 3
option C is correct
