Question

In what radio does the point p(2, -5) divided the line segment joining A(-3, 5), (4, -9)

Answer 1

hey buddy here is your answer

A(-3,5)...........P(2,-5)...........B(4,-8)

In line segment AB the P is mid point .

let we take ratioes are k : 1

so x = m1×x2 + m2x1/ m1+ m2

2. = 4k + (-3)/k + 1

2k + 2 = 4k - 3

2k - 4k = -3 - 2

-2k = -5

k = -5/-2 = 5/2

so ratios are 5 : 2

hope it helps you
