To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio in which the line \(2x + 3y - 5 = 0\) divides the line segment joining the points \(A(8, -9)\) and \(B(2, 1)\). We will also find the coordinates of the point of division. ### Step 1: Assign Coordinates Let the coordinates of point \(A\) be \(A(8, -9)\) and the coordinates of point \(B\) be \(B(2, 1)\). ### Step 2: Assume the Ratio Assume the line divides the segment \(AB\) in the ratio \(m:n\). We can express the coordinates of the point \(M\) that divides \(AB\) in the ratio \(m:n\) using the section formula: \[ ...
