Question
Find the ratio in which the point $P (-4,6)$ divides the line segment joining the points $A (-6,10)$ and $B (3,-8)$.
✓
Answer
Let the ratio be $k: 1$
$-4=\frac{3 k-6}{k+1}$
$\Rightarrow k=\frac{2}{7}$
$\therefore$ required ratio is $2: 7$
$-4=\frac{3 k-6}{k+1}$
$\Rightarrow k=\frac{2}{7}$
$\therefore$ required ratio is $2: 7$
