Question

The line joining the points (2, -2) and (-2, 4) is trisected, then the points of trisection are​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

P and Q are points of trisection and P is nearer to A

⟹AP:PB=1:2

So, P=( m+nmx 2 +nx 1 , m+nmy 2 +ny 1 )

⟹( 1+21(5)+2(2) , 1+21(−8)+2(1))

⟹P(−3,2) pasees through 2x−y+k=0

⟹k=8
