Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining(-2.-3) and (5,6 )is divided by the y axis

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio in which the line is divided be k:1

So,by section formula we get

(5k-2/k+1),(6k-3/k+1)

Now it is divided by the y-axis

So the point which it divides is (a,0)

Therefore,(6k-3/k+1)=0

6k-3=0

6k=3

k=1/2

So the ratio=1/2:1=1:2
