NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths

Question 1.Determine the ratio in which the line 2x + y – 4 = 0 divides the line segment joining the points A(2, – 2) and B(3, 7).

Solution:
If the ratio in which P divides AB is k : 1, then the coordinates of the point P will be
\(\frac { k{ x }_{ 2 }+{ x }_{ 1 } }{ k+1 } ,\frac { k{ y }_{ 2 }+{ y }_{ 1 } }{ k+1 } \)
Let the given line divides the line segment joining the points A (2, – 2) and B (3, 7) in a ratio k: 1.
