Question

Point P divides the line segment joining the points A(8,0) and B(16, -8) in the ratio 3:5 find its coordinates of point P. Also find the equation of the line through P and parallel to 3x + 5y = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinate of P (x,Y)

x=(16*3+8*5)/8=11

y=(0*5-8*3)/8= -3

writing equation of given line in standard form

3x+5y=7,   y= -3/5x+7/5  slope of this line is = -3/5

equation of line passing through P is

y+3=-3/5*(x-11)

3x+5y= -18
