Question

The line segment joining the points A (2,1) and B(5, -8) is trisected at the points P and A
such that P is nearer to A. If p lies on the line 2x-y +k=o, find the value of k.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ᴀ line segment = ab : Given

ab= 2a : Given

Consider that p is at mid point on line segment ab so ap = 2a/2 = a

so ap = bp = a

Hence APBP= a+a = 2a : Final Answer
