Let the line x – 3y = 0 intersect the segment
joining A(–2, –5) and B(6, 3) in the ratio k : 1
∴ Coordinates of P are [ {(6k – 2) / ( k + 1)}, { ( 3 k – 5 ) / ( k + 1)} ]
P lies on x – 3y = 0
{(6k – 2) / ( k + 1)} = 3 { ( 3 k – 5 ) / ( k + 1)}
k = 13/3
∴ Ratio is 13 : 3
Coordinates of P are [ ( 9/2), (3/2) ]
