Question

Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A(1,-5) and B(-4,5) is divided by the x-axis. Also, find the coordinates of the point of division.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio is 1:1

x-coordinate is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The segment joining and point  divided by the x-axis.

To find : In what ratio is the segment joining also find the coordinates of the point of division?

Solution :

Let the line AB divides by Point C in a ration k:1

Then, Using section formula

Divided by the x-axis.

So,

Which means x axis will divide the line segment AB in a ratio 1:1, externally.

Therefore, The ratio is 1:1.

Now, to find x-coordinate,

Therefore, x-coordinate is
