Solution
Let
the
Y
Z
-
plane
divide
the
line
segment
joining
points
P
-
2
,
5
,
9
and
Q
3
,
-
2
,
4
in
the
ratio
k
:
1
.
Using
the
section
formula
,
the
coordinates
of
the
point
of
intersection
are
given
by

On
the
Y

-
plane
,
the
X
-
coordinate
of
any
point
is
zero

Thus
,
the
Y

-
plane
divides
the
line
segment
formed
by
joining
the
given
points
in
the
ratio
