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

straight P space open square brackets fraction numerator straight K left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction comma space fraction numerator straight K left parenthesis 7 right parenthesis plus 1 left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction close square brackets
equals space 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 + y - 9 = 0.    ...(i)
Substituting the values of x (abscissa) and y (ordinate) in (i), we get

3 space open parentheses fraction numerator 2 straight K plus 1 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction close parentheses plus open parentheses fraction numerator 7 straight K plus 3 over denominator straight K plus 1 end fraction close parentheses minus 9 space space equals space 0

So, the required ratio be (3 : 4).
