Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a line AB

On point AB, there is a point C with coordinates (-4,6)

Coordinates of A are (-6,10)(x1 is -6 and b1 is 10) and that of B are (3,-8)(x2 is 3 and b2 is -8)

Let the ratio be k:1

So, x coordinate of C (x) = (kx2 + 1x1)/k+1 =

 -4= (3k+(-6))/k+1

by cross multiplication,

-4k-4 = 3k - 6

2 = 7k

k is 2/7

Required ratio is 2/7
