MCQ - 377-9109

Question:

In what ratio does the point P (2, – 5) divide the line segment joining A (– 3,5) and B(4, – 9)?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Let the point P (2, – 5) divide the line segment joining A (– 3,5) and B(4, – 9) in the ratio m:n.
Let (x,y) ≡ (2, – 5)
(x₁,y₁) ≡ (– 3,5)
and (x₂,y₂) ≡ (4, – 9)
Using Section Formula,

⇒ 2 × (m + n) = 4m – 3n
⇒ 2m + 2n = 4m – 3n
⇒ 5n = 2m
∴ m:n = 5:2
Since the ratio is positive, Point P divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio 5:2.
