Question

find the ratio in which the line segment joining (2,3) and (5,6) is divided by x axis.​

Answer 1

Given

• coordinates of line segment (2,3)and (5,6)

To find

• ratio in which it is divided by x-axis

solution

• let the ratio k :1
• as we know on x-axis value of y is 0

so,

6k+3/k+1=o

6k+3=o

k= -3/6

k= -1/2

hence the line is divided externally in 1:2
