Description : If the points A(a, –11), B(5, b), C(2, 15) and D(1, 1) are the vertices of a parallelogram ABCD, find the values of a and b. -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Let the x-axis divide the line joining the points (-2, 5) and (1, -9) in the ratio k : 1. Let the point of division on x-axis is P Then,\(x\) = \(rac{k-2}{k+1}\), y = \(rac{-9k+ ... (rac{5}{9}\)k being positive, the division is internal. ∴ x-axis divides the given line internally in the ratio 5 : 9.
