  1. Consider line 2x + y – 4 = 0 divides line AB joined by the two points A(2, -2) and B(3, 7) in k : 1 ratio.

    Coordinates of point of division can be given as follows:

    x = (2 + 3k)/(k + 1) and y = (-2 + 7k)/(k + 1)

    Substituting the values of x and y given equation, i.e. 2x + y – 4 = 0, we have

    2{(2 + 3k)/(k + 1)} + {(-2 + 7k)/(k + 1)} – 4 = 0

    (4 + 6k)/(k + 1) + (-2 + 7k)/(k + 1) = 4

    4 + 6k – 2 + 7k = 4(k+1)

    -2 + 9k = 0

    Or k = 2/9

    Hence, the ratio is 2: 9.
