प्रश्न
If P ( 9a -2 , - b) divides the line segment joining A (3a + 1 , - 3 ) and B (8a, 5) in the ratio 3 : 1 , find the values of a and b .
उत्तर
It is given that P divides AB in the ratio 3 : 1.
Therefore, by section formula we have
\[\Rightarrow 9a - 2 = \frac{3\left( 8a \right) + 1\left( 3a + 1 \right)}{3 + 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4\left( 9a - 2 \right) = 24a + 3a + 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 36a - 8 = 27a + 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 9a = 9\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 1\]
And ,
\[\Rightarrow - b = \frac{3\left( 5 \right) + 1\left( - 3 \right)}{3 + 1}\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 4b = 15 - 3\]
\[ \Rightarrow b = - 3\]

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`.
