If the point `x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1)` divides the join of `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` internally then

`t lt 0`

`0 lt t lt 1`

`t gt 1`

`t=1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`(x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1)-=(x_1(1-t)+tx_2,y_1(1-t)+(ty_2)` is the point whihc divides the join of `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` in the ratio `t:(1-t)`, whihch is positive oif `0lttlt1`.
