In what ratio does the line x-y-2 = 0 divides the line segment joining (3, -1) and (8, 9)?

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

The equation of the line connecting (3,-1) and (8,9) is

The given line segment also have equation

Or

Adding equation (2) and (1) gives,

We substitute x=5 into equation (2) to get,

This means that the point of intersection is (5,3)

Let this point divide the line segment joining (3, -1) and (8, 9) in the ratio

m:n

Then,

This implies that,

m:n=3:2

the answer would be 44.79
