Homework Statement
The line AB meets the line 3x+2y-21=0 at M. Find the coordinates of M and show that M divides AB in the ratio 2:1
Equation of AB is y=(2/3)x+4
Homework Equations
Given solution of M is (3,6).
The Attempt at a Solution
First solve for y such that [itex]y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{21}{2}[/itex]. Was thinking of equating the point-formula to this to find M, of course handling the ratio is an issue. Of course, the line M will have a gradient of m=2/3.
Help in advance is greatly appreciated!
