Let the given line divides the line segment joining the points in the ration k : 1 at C
So, by section formula,
Coordinate of C = {(2k + 1)/(k + 1), (7k + 3)/(k + 1)}
This point lies on the line 3x + y - 9 = 0
So, 3(2k + 1)/(k + 1) + (7k + 3)/(k + 1) - 9 = 0
=> 3(2k + 1) + (7k + 3) - 9(k + 1) = 0
=> 6k + 3 + 7k + 3 - 9k - 9 = 0
=> 4k - 3 = 0
=> 4k = 3
=> k = 3/4
So, the required ratios = 3/4 : 1
= 3 : 4
