Find the ratio in which the YZ-plane divides the line segment formed by joining the points (–2, 4, 7) and (3, –5, 8).
Find the ratio in which the join of P (2, 1, -1) and Q (3, 2, 4) is divided by XY-plane.
Let point R (4, y, z) divide the join of P (2, - 3, 4) and Q (8, 0, 10) in the ratio k:1.
R is
∴
∴
Hence, point R is (4, -2, 6).
