the point P divides the join of (2,1) and (-3, 6) in the ratio  2:3. does P lie on the line x-5y+15=0?
PLEASE ANSWER FAST IT IS KINDA URGENT...  

Sagot :

x= [ 2*(-3)+ 3*(2)/( 2+3) = 0
y = [ 1*3+ 6*2 ]/2+3 = 3
so P is( 0,3 )
if it lies on the line x+ 5y = 15 then this point should satisfy the equation
so 0 + 5*3 = 15
so Plies on the given line  x - 5y + 15 = 0

[tex]A=(2;1)\ \ \ and\ \ \ B=(-3;6)\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \overrightarrow {AB}=[-3-2;\ 6-1]=[-5;\ 5]\\\\P=(x_P;\ y_P)\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \overrightarrow {AP}=[x_P-2;\ y_P-1]\\\\the\ ratio\ \ is\ \ 2:3\\\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \overrightarrow {AP}= \frac{2}{5} \cdot \overrightarrow {AB}=\frac{2}{5}\cdot[-5;\ 5]=[\frac{2}{5}\cdot(-5);\ \frac{2}{5}\cdot5]=[-2;\ 2][/tex]
