Find the equation of the line whose portion intercepted between the coordinate axes is divided at the point (5, 6) in the ratio 3:1. |
Answer» Correct Answer - 2x+5y-40=0 Let the required equations be `(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1`. Then, it cuts the axes at A(a,0) and B(0,b) Let P(5,6) divides AB in the ratio 3:1. `"Then",(3xx0+1xxa)/(3+1)=5 and (3xxb+1xx0)/(3+1)=6 Leftrightarrow a=20 and b=8` |
