Find the ratio in which the line segment joining (-2, -3) and (5, 6) is divided by x-axis Also, find the coordinates of the point of division in each case.
उत्तर
The ratio in which the x−axis divides two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is λ : 1
The ratio in which the y-axis divides two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is μ : 1
The coordinates of the point dividing two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` in the ratio m:n is given as,
`(x,y) = (((lambdax_2 + x_1)/(lambda + 1))","((lambday_2 + y_1)/(lambda + 1)))` Where `lambda = m/n`
Here the two given points are A(−2,−3) and B(5,6).
The ratio in which the x-axis divides these points is `(6lambda - 3)/3 = 0`
`lambda = 1/2`
Let point P(x, y) divide the line joining ‘AB’ in the ratio 1:2
Substituting these values in the earlier mentioned formula we have
`(x,y) = (((1/2(5) + (-2))/(1/2 + 1))","((1/2(6) + (-3))/(1/2 + 1)))`
`(x,y) = ((((5 + 2(-2))/2)/((1 + 2)/2))","(((6 + 2(-3))/2)/((1 + 2)/2)))`
`(x,y) = ((1/3)","(0/3))`
`(x,y) = (1/3 , 0)`
Thus the ratio in which the x−axis divides the two given points and the co-ordinates of the point is `(1/3, 0)`

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
Co-ordinates of origin are ______.
Assertion (A): The point (0, 4) lies on y-axis.
Reason (R): The x-coordinate of a point on y-axis is zero.
