Three points are $A(6, 3)$,$B(-3, 5)$,and $C(4, -2)$. If $P(x, y)$ is a point,then the ratio of the area of $\Delta PBC$ to the area of $\Delta ABC$ is:

  • A
    $\left| \frac{x + y - 2}{7} \right|$
  • B
    $\left| \frac{x - y + 2}{2} \right|$
  • C
    $\left| \frac{x - y - 2}{7} \right|$
  • D
    None of these
