In what ratio is the line segment joining the points (-2,-3) and (3, 7) divided by the y-axis? Also, find the coordinates of the point of division.
उत्तर
The ratio in which the y-axis divides two points `(x_1,y_1)` and (x_2,y_2) is λ : 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(3,7).
Since the point is on the y-axis so, x coordinate is 0.
`(3lambda - 2)/1 = 0`
`=> lambda = 2/3`
Thus the given points are divided by the y-axis in the ratio 2:3
The coordinates of this point (x, y) can be found by using the earlier mentioned formula.
`(x,y) = (((2/3(3) + (-2))/(2/3 + 1))","((2/3(7) + (-3))/(2/3 + 1)))`
`(x,y) = ((((6 - 2(3))/3)/((2+3)/3)) "," (((14 - 3(3))/3)/((2+3)/3)))`
`(x,y) = ((0/5)","(5/5))`
(x,y) = (0,1)
Thus the co-ordinates of the point which divides the given points in the required ratio are (0,1)

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`.
