उत्तर
The given points are A (h, 0), P (a, b) and B (0, k).
Thus, we have,
\[\text { Slope of AP } = \frac{b - 0}{a - h}\]
\[\text { Slope of BP } = \frac{b - k}{a - 0}\]
For the given points to be collinear, we must have,
Slope of AP = Slope of BP
\[\Rightarrow \frac{b - 0}{a - h} = \frac{b - k}{a - 0}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{b}{a - h} = \frac{b - k}{a}\]
\[ \Rightarrow ab = ab - ak - bh + hk\]
\[ \Rightarrow ak + bh = hk\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{a}{h} + \frac{b}{k} = 1 \left[\text { On dividing both sides by hk } \right]\]
