Notes
We have two points P (3, 3) and Q (6,−6). There are two points A and B which trisect the line segment joining P and Q.
Let the co-ordinate of A be `A (x_1, y_1)`
Now according to the section formula if any point P divides a line segment joining `A(x_1, y_1)` and `B(x_2, y_2)` in the ratio m: n internally than,
`P(x,y) = ((nx_1 + mx_2)/(m + n), (ny_1 + my_2)/(m + n))`
The point A is the point of trisection of the line segment PQ. So, A divides PQ in the ratio 1: 2
Now we will use section formula to find the coordinates of unknown point A as,
`A(x,y ) = ((2(3) + 1(6))/(1 + 2)"," (2(3) + 1(-6))/(1 + 2))`
Therefore, co-ordinates of point A is(4, 0)
It is given that point A lies on the line whose equation is
2x + y + k = 0
So point A will satisfy this equation.
2(4) + 0 + k = 0
So,
k = -8
