Question

Find the ratio in which a point on the x- axis divide a line segment formed by joining two points

A (3,-5) & B (2,4)​

Answer 1

Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be m:n and the point P(x,0) divide it

Using the internal division formula

P(x,0)= (2m+3n/m+n, 4m-5n/m+n)

4m-5n/m+n=0

4m=5n

m/n=5/4
