The ratio in which the point (P ), whose abscissa is 3, divides the join of (A(6,5) ) and (B(-1,4) ) is equal to .........
Options
- A(3: 4 )
- B(4: 3 )
- C(3: 2 )
- D(2: 3 )
Correct answer
A. (3: 4 )
Step-by-step solution
Let the point (P ) where abscissa is 3, divides the join of points (A(6,5) ) and (B(-1,4) ) is ( : 1 ), then ( aligned & & & = - +6 +1 & & 3 +3 & =- +6 & & 4 & =3 : 1=3: 4 aligned ) Hence, option (a) is correct.
