Questions
If the point divides a line between the axes in the ratio , the equation of the line is
a
ax+by=5
b
bx+ay=5
c
2xa+3yb=5
d
2 ax+3by=5
detailed solution
Correct option is C
Let the line meet x-axis at (h,0) and y-axis at (o,k), then the equation of the line is xh+yk=1 (Intercept form) Since P(a,b) divides BA in the ratio 2:3 we get2h+0×35=a,2×0+3k5=b⇒ h=5a2, k=5b3 and the required equation is 2xa+3yb=5Talk to our academic expert!
