Find the equation of the line which passes through the point minus 4, 3 and the portion of the line intercepted between the axes is divided internally in the ratio 5 ratio 3 by this point?
Let the line cut the x axis at and Y axis at Therefore
It is given that the point (-4,3) divides the line internally in 5: 3 ratio. Hence applying the formula for internal division of line segment, we get and
Hence
Using slope intercept form we get
