221. In what ratio does the like x - y - 2 = 0 divides the line segment joining (3, -1) and (8, 9) ?

Let the given points are A(3, -1) and B(8, 9). Let the line x - y - 2 = 0 divides the line segment AB in the ratio K : 1 at point P. Then the co-ordinates of P are given as

Here, we have x₁ = 3, y = -1
x₂ = 8, y₂ = 9
and m₁ = k, m₂ = 1.
So, co-ordinates of P are

But P lies on x - y - 2 = 0 ...(i)
Substituting the values of x (abscissa) and y (ordinate) in (i), we get

Hence, the required ratio is 2 : 3.
