Solution:
A line divides internally in the ratio m : n
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 5 Coordinate Geometry Ex 5.4 2
\(\frac{4m-3n}{m+n}\)
= 2
4m – 3n = 2m + 2n
4m – 2m = 3n + 2n
2m = 5n
\(\frac{m}{n}\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
m : n = 5 : 2
The ratio is 5 : 2.
and
\(\frac{-9m+5n}{m+n}\)
= -5
-9m + 5 n = -5(m + n)
-9m + 5 n = -5m – 5n
-9m + 5 m = -5n – 5n
-4m = -10
\(\frac{m}{n}\) = \(\frac{10}{4}\) ⇒ \(\frac{m}{n}\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
m : n = 5 : 2

Question 3.
Find the coordinates of a point P on the line segment joining A(1, 2) and B(6, 7) in such a way that AP = \(\frac{2}{5}\) AB.
Solution:
Let the point A (1, 2) and B (6, 7)
AP = \(\frac{2}{5}\) AB
\(\frac{AP}{PB}\) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
∴ AP = 2; PB = 5 – 2 = 3

∴ BA’ divides in the ratio 2 : 1
A line divides internally in the ratio m : n the point is \(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}, \frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}\)
Let the point A’ be (a, b)

\(\frac{2a-1}{3}\) = 6
2a – 1 = 18
2a = 19
a = \(\frac{19}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{2b-4}{3}\) = 3
2b – 4 = 9
2b = 13
b = \(\frac{13}{2}\)

The point A’ is (\(\frac{19}{2}\), \(\frac{13}{2}\))
To find B’
Let B’ be (a, b)
AB = 7√2
BB’ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 7√2 = \(\frac{7√2}{2}\)
\(\frac{AB}{BB’}\) = 7√2 ÷ \(\frac{7√2}{2}\) = \(\frac{7√2×2}{7√2}\) = 2
AB’ divides in the ratio 2 : 1
(-1, -4) = \(\frac{2a+6}{3}\), \(\frac{2b+3}{3}\)
\(\frac{2a+6}{3}\) = -1
2a + 6 = -3
2a = -3 – 6
2a = -9
a = –\(\frac{9}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{2b+3}{3}\) = -4
2b + 3 = -12
2b = -12 – 3
2b = -15
b = –\(\frac{15}{2}\) = -1
The point B’ is (-\(\frac{9}{2}\), –\(\frac{15}{2}\))

Question 6.
Using section formula, show that the points A (7, -5), B (9, -3) and C (13, 1) are collinear.
Solution:
If three points are collinear, then one of the points divide the line segment joining the other points in the ratio r : 1. If P is between A and B and \(\frac{AP}{PB}\) = r

The line divides in the ratio 1 : 2
A line divides internally in the ratio m : n
The point P = (\(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n}\), \(\frac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n}\))
m = 1, n = 2, x1 = 7, x2 = 13, y1 = – 5, y2 = 1
By the given equation,
The Point B = (\(\frac{13+14}{3}\), \(\frac{1-10}{3}\))
= (\(\frac{27}{3}\), \(\frac{-9}{3}\))
= (9, -3)
∴ The three points A, B and C are collinear.
