प्रश्न
Given a line segment AB joining the points A(–4, 6) and B(8, –3). Find
1) The ratio in which AB is divided by y-axis.
2) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
3) The length of AB.
उत्तर
1) Let the line segment AB be divided by the point C on the y-axis in the ratio k: 1.
Then, by section formula, the coordinates of point C are `(8k - 4)/(k + 1), (-3k + 6)/(k + 1)`
Since C lies on the y-axis, coordinates of C are (0, y). On comparing, we have
`(8k - 4)/(k + 1) = 0 => 8k - 4 = 0 => k = 1/2`
Thus, the required ratio in which AB is divided by the y-axis is 1 : 2.
2) The point of intersection of AB and the y-axis is C.
The coordinates of point C are `((8k - 4)/(k + 1), (-3k + 6)/(k + 1)) = ((8xx1/2-4)/(1/2 + ), (-3 xx 1/2 + 6)/(1/2 + 1))`
` = ((4-4)/(1/2 + 1), (-3/2 + 6)/(1/2 + 1))`
= (0,3)
3) By distance formula, `ABsqrt((8+4)^2 + (-3 - 6)^2) = sqrt((12)^2 + (-9)^2) = sqrt225` = 15 units.

Alia and Shagun are friends living on the same street in Patel Nagar. Shagun's house is at the intersection of one street with another street on which there is a library. They both study in the same school and that is not far from Shagun's house. Suppose the school is situated at the point O, i.e., the origin, Alia's house is at A. Shagun's house is at B and library is at C. |
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
- How far is Alia's house from Shagun's house?
- How far is the library from Shagun's house?
- Show that for Shagun, school is farther compared to Alia's house and library.
OR
