Question

In what ratio does the point - 46 divide the line segment joining the points A - 6,100 and B 3, - 8

Answer 1

Answer:

point C(-46,0) does not lie on line joining A and B.

therefore point C does not divide these two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of line joining A and B is

(y-y1)=( (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) )*(x-x1)

(y-100)=( (-8-100)/(3+6) )*(x+6)

y+12x=28

we can see that (-46,0) does not lie on this line.
