1.Two points A(10, -4) and B (-2 ,8) are given.Point P(1,5) divides AB internally in the ratio of r : 1.Find the value of r.

write down your process please=)

from the question, AP:PB=r:1
therefore, consider x-coordinate of P, i.e.1,
1=(10*1+(-2)*r)/r+1
r+1=10-2r
3r=9
r=3

alternate method,
consider y-coordinate of P, i.e. 5
5=((-4)*1+8*r)/r+1
5r+5=8r-4
-3r=-9
r=3

no matter which method you use, you will get the SAME answer.

use section formula

Let m : n = r : 1 ,coordinates of P are (X,Y) ,coordinates of A are (X1,Y1) ,coordinates of B are (X2,Y2)

X = (nX1 + mX2) / (m + n)
Y = (nY1 + mY2) / (m + n)

the x-coordinate of P

1 = [1 x (10) + r x (-2)] / r+1
r + 1 = 10 + (-2r) ←cross mutiplcation
r + 1 = 10 - 2r
3r = 9
r = 3
參考: me , section formula

[10*1)+(-2*R)]/(1+R)=1

10-2R=1+R

9=3R

R=3
