Let u → = 2 i ^ + j ^ and v → = 3   i ^ - 5   j ^ . Consider three points P ,   Q…

Let u=2i^+j^ and v=3 i^-5 j^. Consider three points P, Q and R having the position vectors 52i^-2j^,73i^-j^ and 94i^ respectively. Among these, the points in the line passing through u and v are
  1. Only P and Q
  2. Only P and R
  3. Only Q and R
  4. All P,Q&R

Solution

Given that:  u=2i^+j^ and v=3 i^-5 j^u(2,1) & v(3,-5)

Three points P(52,-2), Q(73,-1) and R(94,0)

Line passing through u and v

y-y1=y2-y1x2-x1(x-x1)

y-1=-5-13-2(x-2)

y-1=-6x+12

6x+y=13

Put P(52,-2), Q(73,-1) & R(94,0)

P: 15-2-=13

Q: 14-1=13

R: 274+013

P,Q satisfy the line joining u & v.
