Question

In what ratio does the point P(2,-5) divide line segment joining A(-3,5) and B(4,-9)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let required ratio be k:1

On comparing,

x=2, y=(-5)

x1=(-3), y1=5

x2=4, y2=(-9)

m=k, n=1

Using section formula,

x=(mx2+nx1)/(m+n)

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

2k+2=4k-3

2k=5

k=5/2

Hence, required ratio is 5:2
