Find the ratio in which the point (-3, p) divides the line segment joining the points (-5, -4) and (-2, 3). Hence find the value of p. please solve it full and send the solution in detail. Share with your friends Share 0 Kavita Verma answered this Dear Student, Let the point -3,p divided the line segment joining the points (-5,-4) and (-2,3) in k:1 ratiothen, -3,p = -2k-5k+1, 3k-4k+1 .....using the formula kx2+x1k+1,ky2+y1k+1-3 = -2k-5k+1⇒-3k+1 = -2k+5⇒ 3k+3 = 2k+5⇒ k = 2So the ratio is 2:1p = 3k-4k+1⇒ pk+1 = 3k-4⇒ 3p = 6-4⇒ p = 23 Regards, 0 View Full Answer Legend Monish answered this omg yaaaar 0
