The required ratio is 2:3. The coordinates of the point of division​ are (0,1).
Step-by-step explanation:

Let y axis divide the line segment joining the point (-2,-3) and (3,7) in m:n.

The coordinates of the point of division​ is (0,y).

Section formula:

If a point divides a line segment in m:n whose end points are  and , then the coordinates of that point are



Using section formula the coordinates of the point of division​ are





The coordinates of the point of division​ is (0,y).



On comparing x-coordinate we get









The required ratio is 2:3.

y-coordinate of point of division​ is



Substitute m=2 and n=3 in the above equation.









Therefore, the coordinates of the point of division​ are (0,1).


The point P dividing the line segment joining The point A(2,3)and B(10,-6) in the ratio 3:2.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let y axis divide the line segment joining the point (-2,-3) and (3,7) in m:n. The coordinates of the point of division is (0,y). The coordinates of the point of division is (0,y). The required ratio is 2:3.
