MHT CET · Maths · Straight Lines
A line passes through \(\mathrm{P}(-4,1)\) and meets the co-ordinate axes at points \(A\) and \(B\). If \(P\) divides the segment \(A B\) internally in the ratio \(1: 2\), then the equation of the line is
- A \(x-2 y+6=0\)
- B \(x+10 y-6=0\)
- C \(2 x+y+4=0\)
- D \(x-y+5=0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(x-2 y+6=0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let A be \((a, 0)\) and B be \((0, b)\). Using section formula for P\((-4,1)\) dividing AB in \(1:2\):
