Write the ratio in which the line segment doining the points A (3, −6), and B (5, 3) is divided by X-axis.
उत्तर
Let P (x , 0 ) be the point of intersection of x-axis with the line segment joining A (3,−6) and B (5, 3) which divides the line segment AB in the ratio λ : 1 .
Now according to the section formula if point a point P divides a line segment joining `A(x_1 , y_1) " and B " (x_2 , y_2 )` in the ratio m: n internally than,
`P(x , y) = ((nx_1 + mx_2 ) / (m + n ) , (ny_1 + my_2)/(m + n ))`
Now we will use section formula as,
`(x , 0 ) = ((5λ + 3 ) /(λ + 1 ) , ( 3λ - 6)/(λ + 1))`
Now equate the y component on both the sides,
`(3λ - 6 ) / (λ + 1 )=0`
On further simplification,
`λ = 2/1`
So x-axis divides AB in the ratio 2:1.

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`.
Distance of the point (6, 5) from the y-axis is ______.
