Question

Find the ratio in which the line joining (-2,5) and (-5, -6) is divided by the line y=-3. Hence find the point of intersection.

Answer 1

Answer: 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

A(-2,5) B (-5,-6)

By section formula

if the line y = -3 then x = 0

divides AB in the ratio K:1

-5K -2/K + 1 =0

So 5k = 2

K = 2/5 so the ratio is 2:5
