To find the equation of the line that point R(h, k) divides in the ratio 1:2 between the axes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem The line segment is divided by point R(h, k) in the ratio 1:2. This means that if we have the x-intercept (a, 0) and the y-intercept (0, b), point R divides the segment between these intercepts. ### Step 2: Use the intercept form of the line The equation of a line in intercept form is given by: \[ ...
