Question

41. Find the ratio in which y-axis divides the line segment joining the
points A(5, 6) and B(-1, 4). Also, find the coordinates of the point of
division.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio=-5:1

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates of the point of divison=

( 0,7/2 )

A (5,6)----------C (0, y).-----------B (-1,4)

let the ratio=k:1

0=k (-1)+1(5)/k+1

0=-k+5

k=-5

ratio is -5:1

y=-5 (4)+1 (6)/-4

y=-20+6/-4

y=7/2
