प्रश्न
The line segment joining the points A(2, 1) and B (5, - 8) is trisected at the points P and Q such that P is nearer to A. If P also lies on the line given by 2x - y + k= 0 find the value of k.

उत्तर
As a line segment, AB is trisected by the points P and Q, Therefore.
Case l: When AP: PB = 1: 2.
Then, coordinates of P are
`{{1xx5 +2xx2)/(1+2) , (1xx(-8)+1xx2)/(1+2)}`
Implies that
P(3, -2)
Since the point P{3, - 2) lies on the line
2x - y + k = 0
⇒ 2 × 3 -(-2) + k = 0
⇒ k = -8

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
Distance of the point (6, 5) from the y-axis is ______.
