Question

Point A divides the line segment joing the points p(2 1)and q(5 8) such that PA/PQ = 1/3 if the line is 2x-y+k= 0 also passes through Afinf the value of k

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given PA/PQ-1:3

SO,PA/PQ=1:2

GIVEN THAT A is lie on 2x-y+k=0

2(3)-(-2)+k=0

⇒6+2+k=0

⇒8+k =0

⇒k=-8
