Given line L : 2x + y = k passes through point (Say P) which divides the line segment (let AB) in ration 3:2, where A(1, 1) and B(2, 4).<\/p>\n
Using section formula, the coordinates of the point P which divides AB internally in the ratio 3:2 are<\/p>\n
P(\\(3\\times 2 + 2\\times 1\\over 3 + 2\\), \\(3\\times 4 + 2\\times 1\\over 3 + 2\\)) = P(\\(8\\over 5\\), \\(14\\over 5\\))<\/p>\n
Also, since the line L passes through P, hence substituting the coordinates of P(\\(8\\over 5\\), \\(14\\over 5\\)) in the equation of L : 2x + y = k, we get<\/p>\n
2(\\(8\\over 5\\)) + \\(14\\over 5\\) = k<\/p>\n
