The coordinates of `A,B,C` are `(6,3)`, `(-3,5)`, `(4,-2)` respectively and `P` is any point `(x,y)` . Show that the ratio of the areas of the triangles `DeltaPBC` and `DeltaABC` is `|(x+y-2)/(7)|`. |

Answer» `("Area of " DeltaPBC)/("Area of" DeltaABC)=((1)/(2)|x(5+2)+(-3)(-2-y)+4(y-5)|)/((1)/(2)|6(5+2)+(-3)(-2-3)+4(3-5)|)` `=(|7x+7y-14|)/(|42+15-8|)=(7|x+y-2|)/(49)=|(x+y-2)/(7)|` |
