KCET2010MathematicsStraight Lines
The line joining A(2,-7) and B(6,5) is divided into 4 equal parts by the points P , Q and R such that AQ = RP = QB . The mid point of P R is
Options
- A(4,12)
- B(-8,1)
- C(4,-1)
- D(8,-2)
Correct answer
C. (4,-1)
Step-by-step solution
Given that, and aligned AP &= PQ = QR = RB AQ &= RP = QB aligned Since, AQ = QB , that means Q is the mid point of AB = [ 2+6 2 , -7+5 2 ]=(4,-1) Mid point of P R=(4,-1)[ PQ = QR ]
