For an equilateral triangle, the perpendicular bisector of any side passes through the opposite vertex.
Both the points, (0, -3) and (0, 3), lie on the y-axis equidistant from the origin. Hence, the perpendicular bisector joining these two points is the x-axis.
Any point on the x-axis has the coordinates (a, 0).
The distance between (0, -3) and (0, 3) is 6.
Hence, the distance between (a, 0) and (0, 3) should also be 6.
62 = (a - 0)2 + (0 - 3)2
36 = a2 + 9
a2 = 27

The difference between the x-coordinates of A and B is 6 - 1 = 5
Similarly, the difference between the y-coordinates of A and B is 7 - 2 = 5
Hence, if the line segment joining A(1, 2) and B(6, 7) is divided into 5 equal parts by the points P, Q, R and S, then the coordinates of P, Q, R and S can be found out by increasing the x and the y coordinates of A by 1 successively.
Hence, the coordinates of P are (1 + 1, 2 + 1) = (2, 3)
The coordinates of Q are (2 + 1, 3 + 1) = (3, 4)
The coordinates of R are (3 + 1, 4 + 1) = (4, 5)

As P and Q trisect AB and P is near to A.
Therefore, P divides AB in the ratio 1:2.

Given points are A(3,-5) and B(-4,8).
P divides AB in the ratio k : 1.
Using the section formula, we have:
Coordinate of point P are {(-4k+3/k+1)(8k-5/k+1)}
Now it is given, that P lies on the line x+y = 0
Therefore,
-4k+3/k+1 + 8k-5/k+1 =0
=> -4k+3+8k-5 =0
=> 4k -2 =0
=> k=2/4
=> k=1/2
Thus, the value of k is 1/2.
