Question

In what ratio does the point (24/11,y) divides the line segment joining the pointP(2,-2) and Q(3,7) Also find the value of y​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Let the point A(24/11, y) divides the segment PQ, given coordinates are P(2,-2) & Q(3,7) .

Here, x1 = 2, y1= -2 AND, x2 = 3, y2 = 7

By section formula,

X coordinate of point A = (m1 X2 + m2 X1 ) / (m1 + m2)

Here, let the ratio m1: m2 be k:1

So, 24/11 = (3k + 2) / ( k+1)

=> 33k +22 = 24k +24

=> 9k = 2

=> k = 2/9

So, the ratio = 2:9
