Question

Arme
in what ratio is the line joining A (0 ,3)
and B (4,-1) divided by the x-axis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the line segment AB intersects the x-axis by point P (x, 0) in the ratio k: 1. Thus, the required ratio in which P divides AB is 3: 1.

Answer 2

Answer:

the required ratio be 3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio be K:1 and point on x-axis be (X,0)

y= k*y1 + 1* y2 / k+1. (by section formula)

0 = k*-1 + 3/k+1

-1k +3 =0

k = -3/-1

k = 3/1
