Question

find the ratio in which axis and y axis divide the line segment joining 1, 4 and 4, - 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think it is x axis: 4:5 and y axis : -1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Now at x axis, the coordinates are : (x,0)

and in y axis, the coordinates are : (0,y)

so, let the ratio of x axis be m:n

now by section formula,

0 = (4n - 5m)/ m+n

or, 4n = 5m

or, m/n = 4/5

or, m:n = 4:5

now, for y axis let the ratio be a:b

so, 0 = (1b+4a)/a+b

or, 1b = -4a

or, a:b = -1:4
