The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \(\frac{\Delta PBC}{\Delta ABC}\), we need to calculate the areas of triangles \(PBC\) and \(ABC\) using the coordinates provided. ### Step 1: Calculate the Area of Triangle ABC The coordinates of points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are: - \(A(6, 3)\) - \(B(-3, 5)\) - \(C(4, -2)\) The formula for the area of a triangle given its vertices \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) is: \[ \Delta = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Substituting the coordinates of points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\): \[ \Delta ABC = \frac{1}{2} \left| 6(5 - (-2)) + (-3)(-2 - 3) + 4(3 - 5) \right| \] Calculating each term: 1. \(6(5 + 2) = 6 \times 7 = 42\) 2. \(-3(-2 - 3) = -3 \times (-5) = 15\) 3. \(4(3 - 5) = 4 \times (-2) = -8\) Now, substituting these values back into the area formula: \[ \Delta ABC = \frac{1}{2} \left| 42 + 15 - 8 \right| = \frac{1}{2} \left| 49 \right| = \frac{49}{2} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Area of Triangle PBC Let \(P\) have coordinates \((x, y)\). The area of triangle \(PBC\) is given by: \[ \Delta PBC = \frac{1}{2} \left| x(5 - (-2)) + (-3)(-2 - y) + 4(y - 5) \right| \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta PBC = \frac{1}{2} \left| x(7) + (-3)(-2 - y) + 4(y - 5) \right| \] Calculating each term: 1. \(x(7) = 7x\) 2. \(-3(-2 - y) = 6 + 3y\) 3. \(4(y - 5) = 4y - 20\) Now, substituting these values back into the area formula: \[ \Delta PBC = \frac{1}{2} \left| 7x + 6 + 3y + 4y - 20 \right| = \frac{1}{2} \left| 7x + 7y - 14 \right| \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Ratio \(\frac{\Delta PBC}{\Delta ABC}\) Now we can find the ratio: \[ \frac{\Delta PBC}{\Delta ABC} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \left| 7x + 7y - 14 \right|}{\frac{49}{2}} = \frac{\left| 7x + 7y - 14 \right|}{49} \] We can simplify this further: \[ \frac{\Delta PBC}{\Delta ABC} = \frac{7(x + y - 2)}{49} = \frac{x + y - 2}{7} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\frac{\Delta PBC}{\Delta ABC}\) is: \[ \frac{x + y - 2}{7} \]
