Find the equation of the line which pass...

Find the equation of the line which passes through `P(1,-7)` and meets the axes at `Aa n dB` respectively so that `4A P-3B P=0.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, `P=(1,-7) ` and `4AP−3BP=0⇒(AP)/(BP)​=3/4`
​ So, Let the equation of the line be `x/a+y/b​=1->[1]`
Therefore P divides AB internally in the ratio `3:4`
Thus coordinates of P are given by
