The point R divides the line segment AB, where A(−4, 0) and B(0, 6) such that AR=34AB.">AR = `3/4`AB. Find the coordinates of R.
उत्तर
We have given that R divides the line segment AB
AR+ RB = AB
`3/4`AB + RB = AB
⇒ RB = `"AB"/4`
⇒ AR : RB = 3 : 1
Using section formula:
`x = ((m_1x_2 + m_2x_1)/( m_1 + m_2)), y = ((m_1y_2 + m_2y_1)/(m_1 + m_2))`
m1 = 3, m2 = 1
x1 = - 4, y1 = 0
x2 = 0, y2 = 6
Plugging values in the formula we get
x = `( 3 xx 0 + 1 xx (- 4))/( 3 + 1), y = ( 3 xx 6 + 1 xx 0)/( 3 + 1)`
x = `(- 4)/4, y = 18/4`
⇒ x = - 1, y = `9/2`
Therefore, the coordinates of R `(-1,9/2)`
