Question

the line segment AB is divided at P(4,5) Internally in the ratio 3:4.If coordinates of point "B" are (8,9) and co- ordinates of point "A" are (x, 2), find the value of "x".​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

By Section Formula we know that :

P(4,5) = ( 3 × 8 + 4 × x ÷ 4+5) , ( 3 × 9 + 4 × 2 ÷ 4+5)

Since we just want to find the value of x we will take :

( 3 × 8 + 4 × x ÷ 4+5) = 4

24 + 4x ÷ 9 = 4

24 + 4x = 36

4x = 12

x = 12 ÷ 4

x = 3

Hope this helps...
