Answer :

Assuming:

y – x +2 = 0 divides the line joining the points (3, -1) and (8, 9) at the point P in the ratio k : 1


To prove:


Line y - x + 2 = 0 divides the join of points (3,-1) and (8, 9) in the ratio 2:3


Explanation:


P


P lies on the y – x +2 = 0


Therefore,



-1 + 9k – 3 – 8k +2k + 2 = 0


3k = 2


k


Hence Proved, the line y – x +2 = 0 divides the line joining the points (3, -1) and (8, 9) in the ratio 2 : 3
