226. Determine the ratio in which the line 3x + 4y - 9 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points (1, 3) and (2, 7)


Let the given points arc A(1, 3) and B(2, 7). Let the line 3x + 4y - 9 = 0 divides the line segment AB in the ratio K : 1 at point P. Then the co-ordinates of P are given as

"<pre 

Here, we have x1 = 1,    y1 = 3
x2 = 2,    y2 = 7
and    m1 = k, m2 = 1
So, co-ordinates of P are

equals straight P space open square brackets fraction numerator straight K cross times 2 plus 1 cross times 1 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction comma space fraction numerator straight K cross times 7 plus 1 cross times 3 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction close square brackets
equals straight P space open square brackets fraction numerator 2 straight K plus 1 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction comma space fraction numerator 7 straight K plus 3 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction close square brackets

But P lies on 3x + 4y - 9 = 0    ...(i)
Substituting the values of x (abscissa) and y (ordinate) in (i), we get
                     3x + 4y - 9 = 0

Hence, the required ratio is space space space fraction numerator negative 6 over denominator 25 end fraction.
