Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 x+3 y-12=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P\left(x_1, y_2\right)\) be the point of which divide line segment in \(4: 3\) extermally \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)=\left(\frac{-12-3}{1}, \frac{20-6}{1}\right)=(-15,14)\) Equation of line having slope \(\frac{-2}{3}\) and posses through…
