Show that the point `P(-4,2)` lies on the line segment joining the points `A(-4,6)` and `B(-4,-6)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`P(-4,2)` lies on the line segment joining the points `A(-4,6)` and `B(-4,-6)`
Now,
A line segment joining the points `A` and `B` is
`y−y_1​=m(x−x_1​)`
`=>y−6=(−6−6)/(-4+4)​(x+4)` ...
