The points , and are given. What can be said about them?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. They are collinear, and B divides AC in the ratio

  1. Step 1: and .
  2. Step 2: : parallel with common point B, so collinear.
  3. Step 3: AB : BC .
Answer
They are collinear, and B divides AC in the ratio .
Why not the others: They are collinear, and B is the midpoint of AC: AB is half of BC. They are not collinear: is a multiple of . They are collinear, and C divides AB in the ratio : C is not between A and B.
