Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, – 8) is divided by (-1, 6).

Asked by Abhisek | 1 year ago |  102

##### Solution :-

Consider the ratio in which the line segment joining ( -3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by point ( -1, 6) be k :1.

Therefore, -1 = $$\dfrac{ ( 6k-3)}{(k+1)}$$

– 1 = 6-3

7= 2

$$\dfrac{2}{7}$$

Therefore, the required ratio is 2: 7.
