Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Let point A (x1 y1) be (5,-6)

Let point B (x2 y2) be (-1, -4)

We know that the equation of x axis is y = 0

Let us take C(x,0) as a point on x axis.

Let the x axis divide the line in the ratio k:1

According to section formula,

y coordinate = 0 is equal to:

$\frac{k( - 4) + 1( - 6)}{k + 1} = 0$

$- 4k - 6 = 0$

$k = \frac{6}{ - 4}$

$k = \frac{ - 3}{2}$

Hence k:1 = 3/2 or k:1 = 3:2
